Decision Date
2024-04-15
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 open a specialized consulting and advisory company to strengthen the marketing, accounting, and administrative operations of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the United States. She aims to provide initial diagnoses and individualized strategies to improve operational efficiency and foster fiscal growth for her clients.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks evidence of prospective impact on a scale commensurate with national importance.

2 Well-positioned to Advance the Endeavor Not Met

The record does not show that the petitioner's past experience or business plan renders her well-positioned to advance the specific proposed endeavor.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed Dhanasar prongs 1 and 2. Specifically, she did not provide evidence of projected job creation or economic impact to establish national importance, and her track record and business plan were insufficient to show she was well-positioned to succeed.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested evidence to establish the national interest waiver; the petitioner provided additional statements and articles on the importance of SMEs.
