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 a pedagogical intervention project to analyze, detect, treat, and raise awareness about bullying prevention. The program aims to design and apply intervention techniques to reduce physical and online violence and improve organizational behavior.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the specific anti-bullying project has national importance or a broad impact.

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. While the work has substantial merit, the evidence did not show the project would have a broader influence on the field or the U.S. economy beyond specific schools in Florida.
