Decision Date
2025-03-19
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 impact existing U.S.-based companies and institutions by developing and implementing marketing strategies for small, medium, large, and multinational companies. This endeavor aims to achieve sales growth, optimize operational processes, expand market share, and strengthen customer relationships.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 The proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance Not Met

The proposed endeavor was found to have substantial merit but failed to demonstrate national importance, as the petitioner did not show significant job creation, broader economic effects, or impact beyond individual clients.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of his proposed endeavor, thus not meeting the first Dhanasar prong. The record lacked evidence of specific job creation estimates, broader impact beyond individual clients, or unique/innovative aspects of his marketing strategies. Expert letters supported past accomplishments but did not sufficiently address the national importance of the proposed endeavor.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested evidence to establish the national importance of the petitioner's proposed endeavor, specifically regarding job creation and broader economic impact. The petitioner responded by asserting alignment with high-growth sectors and claiming job creation, but provided no supporting evidence or demonstration of impact beyond individual companies.
