CEO/Entrepreneur Event Planner

The Petitioner proposes to establish and operate an event planning company in the United States that will offer planning services and publish a marketing magazine with advertisements for related vendor services such as catering. The endeavor also aims to promote Latin culture through artistic, religious, and musical events.

The petitioner proposes to manage a Florida-based company that organizes Brazilian-themed events and festivals to enhance cultural diversity and promote emotional well-being. The endeavor aims to foster creativity and multiculturalism while driving economic development through large-scale cultural events.

The petitioner proposes to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of her U.S. company, providing leadership for all aspects of its operations with an emphasis on long-term goals, growth, profit, and return on investment.

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional due to insufficient employer letters proving five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience. Additionally, the petitioner did not meet at least three of the six criteria for exceptional ability, specifically failing to provide employer letters for ten years of experience, demonstrate exceptional salary relative to peers, or show recognition for significant contributions to the field beyond a single employer. The additional evidence submitted on motion did not establish new facts or overcome these deficiencies.
