Texas
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 provide university admission and other educational services to prospective Nigerian students through his educational consulting company. The goal is to help Nigerian students study in the United States to promote diversity, inclusion, and international partnerships.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks national importance as its impact is limited to the petitioner's clients and company.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The motion was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of his endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong. USCIS found that while the work has merit, the record lacked evidence that the consulting services would have positive effects reaching beyond the petitioner's specific company to the region or nation more broadly.
