Decision Date

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 act as a Commercial Manager focusing on market expansion through strategic planning and customized commercial processes. She also intends to manage digital marketing to increase profitability and market share for U.S. companies, while also teaching and training others in the field.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 Substantial Merit and National Importance Partially Met

The endeavor was found to have substantial merit but lacked evidence of national importance or broader implications beyond the petitioner's specific clients.

2 Well-positioned to Advance the Endeavor Not Met

The Director found this prong unmet, and the AAO reserved judgment as the first prong was not satisfied.

3 On Balance, Beneficial to Waive Job Offer Not Met

The Director found this prong unmet, and the AAO did not reach this analysis.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish the national importance of her endeavor, failing to show broader implications for the field or significant economic impact. Additionally, she did not contest the Director's finding that she did not qualify as an advanced degree professional, and the record did not sufficiently demonstrate exceptional ability.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE asked for evidence to support EB-2 eligibility and the three Dhanasar prongs; the petitioner provided a revised professional plan and additional letters.
