Location
Florida
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 work as a Business Development Specialist focusing on the natural stone and civil construction industries. He aims to facilitate import/export between Brazilian and American companies and provide services in marketing, sales, and logistics to enhance scalability for U.S.-based companies.

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 broad prospective impact.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish the national importance of his endeavor (Prong 1). He failed to provide a business plan or projections showing substantial economic impact, and his work was deemed to benefit only his specific clients rather than the industry at large.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested clarification on the proposed endeavor and evidence for all three prongs. The petitioner responded by shifting from a general consulting model to a specific focus on the natural stone industry.
