Decision Date
2024-06-21
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 strengthen soft skills and social capital based on biblical values through training workshops. The endeavor targets Latin immigrants in Christian churches and aims to reach 70,000 individuals to improve their ethical approach and well-being.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks evidence of national importance or broader implications beyond the immediate participants.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish the national importance of the endeavor (Prong 1). Although she holds a doctoral degree and provided expert letters, the proposed workshops were found to have localized impact rather than broader implications for the field or significant economic effects.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested further evidence of eligibility; the petitioner responded with a second, different proposal which was rejected as a material change.
