Location
Massachusetts
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 work as an accountant in Massachusetts, providing services such as financial management, fiscal management, and forensic accounting. He intends to integrate AI into accounting services to address labor shortages and improve economic efficiency. Additionally, he plans to conduct field research to identify errors in financial reporting and align his work with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Framework Evaluation

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

While the endeavor has substantial merit, it lacks national importance as the benefits are localized to specific clients rather than the field or economy at large.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of his endeavor (Prong 1) and did not prove he held a U.S. equivalent advanced degree. The AAO found his Bachelor of Accounting Sciences from Brazil was completed in only two years, which does not meet the four-year U.S. baccalaureate equivalency required for EB-2 classification.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The Director issued a NOID regarding EB-2 qualifications and the Dhanasar prongs; the petitioner responded with an updated professional plan and additional letters.
