Decision Date
2025-04-10
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 serve as the CEO of a consulting firm facilitating cross-continental investments between the United States and Europe. The firm would provide legal, compliance, and strategic advisory services to guide companies through international regulations and taxation. Additionally, the endeavor includes offering free consulting to minority-owned businesses and conducting workshops on sustainable operations.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks evidence of national importance or significant prospective economic impact.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The petitioner failed to establish the national importance of the endeavor. Although the business plan projected 14 jobs and $379,900 in earnings by the fifth year, these figures were insufficient to demonstrate substantial economic effect in a $43.6 billion industry. Furthermore, expert letters failed to show how the services would impact the field more broadly rather than just benefiting individual clients.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested further evidence of eligibility for the waiver; the petitioner provided a business plan and an expert letter, but these failed to establish national importance.
