Event Planner

Event Planning · Bolivia · 2023-03-01

Decision Date
2023-03-01
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 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.

Framework Evaluation

1 of 3 criteria met
1 Well-positioned to Advance the Endeavor Met

The Director previously found the Petitioner well-positioned based on her experience and achievements in the field.

2 Substantial Merit and National Importance Partially Met

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks evidence of national importance or broad impact beyond the company's clientele.

3 On Balance, Beneficial to Waive Job Offer Not Met

Because the first prong was not met, the Petitioner could not establish that a waiver would be beneficial on balance.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner did not establish the national importance of her endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong. While the endeavor had substantial merit, the projected creation of 10 jobs over five years and the localized nature of event planning services were insufficient to show a broad national impact or substantial economic effect.
