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 serve as the general and operations manager of his business, which provides customized LED and digital advertising screens for indoor locations such as companies, schools, and hospitals, as well as outdoor public events. The endeavor focuses on providing tailored digital signage solutions to enhance client visibility and business activities.

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 national importance because its impact was localized to specific customers.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of the endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong. Although the petitioner has 18 years of experience and projected the creation of 29 jobs by the fifth year, the evidence did not show that the work would have broader implications for the field or substantial positive economic effects beyond his immediate clientele.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested evidence to address deficiencies in all three Dhanasar prongs. The petitioner responded with a business plan, job creation projections, and evidence of business incorporation and tax filings.
