Decision Date
2024-04-26
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 develop lesson plans incorporating online educational platforms prioritizing adaptive and flexible learning for students. The endeavor aims to address underdeveloped areas of digital learning and maintain educational quality between in-person and online mediums through individualized instruction.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor lacked national importance as its benefits were confined to the petitioner's classroom and did not impact the field of education broadly.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate the national importance of the endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong. USCIS found that the impact of the teaching methods and lesson plans was localized to the petitioner's specific classroom or school system rather than having a broader prospective impact on the field of education.
