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 company providing consultancy services to improve occupational health and safety for small- and medium-sized businesses. The endeavor aims to provide professional guidance to enhance workplace safety standards within the SME sector.
Framework Evaluation
0 of 3 criteria met1 Substantial Merit and National Importance Not Met
The petitioner failed to show how his specific consultancy work would impact the industry nationally or provide substantial economic benefits.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The appeal and subsequent motions were dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of the endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong. USCIS found that business plan projections were unsupported by corroborating evidence and that the benefits did not reach the level of substantial positive economic effects. Prongs two and three were not reached as the petitioner failed the first requirement.
