Location
Florida
This case is from a USCIS Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) appeal decision. Appeal cases represent a subset of petitions and may not reflect typical outcomes.

Proposed Endeavor

The petitioner proposes to create an academic consulting and professional services company to provide training for teachers and support staff of educational institutions. The endeavor focuses on strengthening skills and soft skills through personal and professional growth activities using an interdisciplinary consulting team.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 Substantial Merit and National Importance Not Met

The endeavor lacked evidence of broader implications or significant potential for job creation/economic impact to be considered nationally important; it appeared to benefit only the specific clients of the consulting firm.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The record did not demonstrate that the consulting services or the unspecified number of jobs created would have broader implications or substantial positive economic effects. The AAO reserved judgment on the petitioner's advanced degree qualification and the remaining Dhanasar prongs.
