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 establish a business consulting firm to provide management consulting services aimed at increasing the profitability of small and medium-sized American businesses. The endeavor specifically focuses on developing business strategies for the vehicle auction industry, including analyzing operations, managing finances, and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks national importance as it does not demonstrate significant potential for job creation or broader economic effects beyond the immediate clients.

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 endeavor had substantial merit, the projected revenue of $930,800 and staff of 11 by year five were deemed to have a limited prospective impact that did not extend to the field or nation more broadly.
