Decision Date
2023-07-14
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 provide entrepreneurial business consulting services, software, and training to U.S. small businesses and startups. The work focuses on using a proprietary 'Effective Staff Payment System' and data-driven insights to aid in sustainable expansion, job growth, and employee retention.

Framework Evaluation

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

While the endeavor had substantial merit, it lacked national importance as the benefits were narrowly confined to the petitioner's specific clients.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner only met one of the six criteria for exceptional ability (academic record) and failed to prove the national importance of the endeavor. Specifically, the evidence did not show that the consulting work would have impact beyond the individual clients or create significant downstream economic activity.
