Decision Date

Location
United States
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 an event production and set design company in the United States. He intends to serve as the chief executive officer and a set and exhibit designer, creating visual communication projects including logos and brand identities.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to meet the threshold for EB-2 exceptional ability; specifically, he did not satisfy the criteria for academic records, ten years of experience in the specific occupation, professional licenses, or membership in professional associations. The AAO withdrew the Director's previous findings regarding license and salary criteria, noting the evidence provided related to his work as a machinist rather than a set designer.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested evidence to support the Petitioner's claim of exceptional ability and the national interest waiver. The Petitioner responded with training certificates and a membership declaration from ABRACOPEL.
