Decision Date
2024-12-03
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 consulting company to develop and implement business models and strategies through digital marketing, auditing, and logistics management. The endeavor aims to improve productivity and prevent business risks for small and medium-sized U.S. companies through technological solutions and strategic planning.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but the petitioner failed to demonstrate its national importance or substantial positive economic effects.

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 business plan projected 10 employees and $629,690 in revenue by year five, these figures were not supported by evidence showing substantial economic impact or broader implications for the industry.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The Director issued an RFE regarding the national importance of the endeavor. The petitioner provided a statement on economic competitiveness and industry articles, but these did not specifically link the endeavor's impact to the national scale.
