Location
Massachusetts
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 serve as the CEO of a company providing data science and business intelligence services. The endeavor aims to help small and medium-sized businesses thrive in the digital market through digital integration, data security, and identifying data-analytics problems to improve operations.

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 satisfy the national importance requirement of the first Dhanasar prong. Although the petitioner provided a business plan projecting 24 direct jobs by year 5 and $555K in net worth, USCIS found these figures did not demonstrate a substantial positive economic effect or broader implications for the field beyond limited professional services.
