Decision Date
2024-06-26
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 direct a company providing financial and administrative services, consultancy, and specialized advice to private and public companies. Additionally, the endeavor includes fostering financial literacy among high school students and providing business administration education for entrepreneurs and nonprofit organizations.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 Substantial Merit and National Importance Partially Met

The endeavor was found to have substantial merit but failed to demonstrate national importance.

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 petitioner holds an advanced degree (Licentiate in Business Administration) and provided several expert support letters, the evidence did not demonstrate that the work would impact the field more broadly or have significant economic effects beyond his immediate clients.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed
