Decision Date
2024-05-30
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 work as a systems engineer to develop and launch new systems and products, specifically focusing on the food industry to optimize processes. He intends to provide specialized services in quality, product, and operations engineering to impact the field through innovation.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 Substantial Merit and National Importance Partially Met

The endeavor was found to have substantial merit but lacked national importance.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of his endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong. The record lacked evidence of significant economic activity, job creation, or broad implications for the field, and the expert letters provided were deemed to have little probative value as they focused on industry statistics rather than the specific endeavor.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE sought to address deficiencies in all three Dhanasar prongs. The petitioner provided expert letters and statements regarding the engineering talent shortage, but failed to demonstrate the specific impact of his work.
