Decision Date
2023-08-15
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 in the United States as an aircraft mechanic. The endeavor focuses on providing maintenance services for aircraft to ensure safety and operational standards within the aviation industry.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to meet at least three of the six regulatory criteria for exceptional ability. Specifically, the AAO found he only met the criteria for academic records and professional licenses, but failed to demonstrate ten years of full-time experience, membership in a professional association (PAPA did not qualify), or significant contributions to the field.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested evidence to establish the Petitioner as an individual of exceptional ability and to satisfy the Dhanasar prongs. The Petitioner provided employment certificates and membership details for PAPA, which were ultimately deemed insufficient.
