Decision Date
2024-09-23
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 open a management consulting, advisory, and training office in the Florida region. This endeavor aims to provide consulting services to clients, with a business plan forecasting revenue growth and job creation.

Framework Evaluation

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

The Petitioner did not establish that her proposed endeavor would have a significant economic impact rising to the level of national importance or substantially benefit the field of management consulting more broadly.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor had substantial merit and national importance, specifically regarding its potential economic impact and job creation. USCIS found that the projected revenue of $363,264 in year one and $709,632 in year five, along with the intention to directly employ eight individuals and indirectly create 67 jobs by year five, did not demonstrate a sufficient impact to meet the national importance requirement of the first Dhanasar prong. Consequently, further analysis of the second and third prongs was not conducted.
