What this profile cannot afford to skip
  • The proposed endeavor must be specific, and it must stay the same endeavor: material changes after filing are not considered. Define it before you file, not on appeal.
  • The relevant question is not the importance of the industry or profession in which the individual will work. The endeavor itself must have substantial merit and national importance, distinct from the field's general value.
  • Letters must name your specific endeavor and trace how your work shaped later work. Officers are trained that letters praising skills in general terms do not add value as evidence.
