The proposed endeavor
Continue teaching English language and literature at US university level.
Why it turned out this way
Firm argued national importance via documented US language-teacher shortage rather than via the petitioner's citation record, which was thin. Shows a labour-shortage framing substituting for research impact.
Analysis
why it matters
Only 3 articles and 22 citations. Demonstrates that in a teaching endeavor, evidence of field-level need can carry Prong 1 where a publication record cannot.
