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 operate an accounting services consulting firm to advise companies on financial and tax planning, auditing, and tax filing services. Additionally, the endeavor aims to provide remote employment opportunities for mothers, wives with domestic responsibilities, and individuals with disabilities.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks evidence of broader implications or substantial economic effects necessary for national importance.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of the endeavor (Prong 1). Although she projected $7.03 million in revenue and 20 jobs, the business plan only corroborated $703,600 and 12 jobs, which were deemed insufficient to show substantial economic effects.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE targeted the national importance of the endeavor. The petitioner responded with a revised business plan and social impact goals, which the USCIS found insufficient.
