Decision Date
2024-12-04
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 consulting and advising company focused on the internationalization of business between Brazil and the United States. The company intends to provide services such as strategic planning, market analysis, advice on regulatory and legal issues, human resources consulting, contracts support, and training.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 Proposed endeavor has substantial merit and national importance Not Met

The endeavor was found to have substantial merit, but the record did not establish its national importance, as the company's operations would not result in broader implications or substantial economic effects commensurate with Dhanasar.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The petition was denied because the Petitioner did not meet the first prong of the Dhanasar framework, failing to establish the national importance of her endeavor. USCIS found that while the endeavor was substantially meritorious, its prospective impact did not result in broader implications commensurate with national importance, nor did the financial projections demonstrate substantial positive economic effects. The Petitioner's claims of aligning with government initiatives and promoting international trade lacked sufficient supporting evidence. The motion to reconsider was dismissed because the Petitioner did not identify an erroneous conclusion of law or fact in the appellate decision.
