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 operate a general cargo transportation and consulting company in the U.S. providing services in supply chain management, logistics, and strategic sourcing. The endeavor includes physical cargo transport by road and licensing a route optimization software (SigX) designed to minimize environmental impact.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks national importance as it does not offer broader implications for the field beyond the petitioner's clients.

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 $17.3 million in revenue and 65 jobs by year five, the AAO found these projections lacked sufficient explanation and did not demonstrate a scale rising to national importance.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The Director issued an RFE regarding the national importance of the endeavor. The petitioner responded with a business plan and additional industry reports, but failed to show impact beyond her specific clients.
