Electrical Engineering And Technical Sales · 2024-07-01

Decision Date
2024-07-01
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 company providing services in electrical engineering and technical sales, specifically helping businesses upgrade or replace electrical machinery. He also intends to conduct research, advance technologies, and transfer best practices between the United States and Latin America.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor's impact was found to be limited to prospective customers and employees rather than the field or U.S. economy more broadly.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner did not establish the national importance of his endeavor; his business plan's projections of 15 jobs and $846,405 in revenue were deemed insufficient to show substantial positive economic effects. Additionally, the record lacked evidence that his work would impact the field more broadly rather than just his specific clients.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The Director issued a NOID claiming the record fell short of establishing national importance and lacked financial proof to demonstrate industry-wide impact.
