Decision Date
2025-01-10
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 establish a consulting company specializing in Brazilian tax and customs law, offering expertise in customs regulation, tax issues, and international trade rules. The endeavor aims to generate skilled jobs and stimulate economic growth.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 Proposed endeavor has substantial merit and national importance Not Met

The Petitioner did not demonstrate the national importance of her proposed endeavor, lacking evidence of potential to employ U.S. workers, substantial positive economic effects, or broader implications.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to demonstrate the national importance of her proposed endeavor under Dhanasar's first prong. She did not provide sufficient evidence to substantiate claims of potential to employ U.S. workers, substantial positive economic effects, or broader national implications. While revenue projections of $1,008,000 in year one, $1,392,000 in year two, and $1,776,000 in year three were offered, along with a willingness to pay competitive salaries of up to $8,000 per month for licensed lawyers, these were not supported by details or explanations. The decision did not reach the second and third Dhanasar prongs.
