Facilities Manager

Facilities And Project Management · 2024-12-10

Decision Date
2024-12-10
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 proposed to elevate her career within Facilities and Project Management by serving within American organizations or as an independent consultant. Her work aims to enhance safety protocols, refine internal operations procedures, and promote the physical and mental well-being of the workforce, fostering inclusivity and accessibility for individuals with disabilities.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 The proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance Not Met

The AAO agreed the endeavor had substantial merit but found the petitioner failed to establish national importance, as the impact was not shown to extend beyond her direct clients/employers.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance aspect of Dhanasar's first prong. While the endeavor had substantial merit, the petitioner did not demonstrate how her proposed work would extend beyond her future customers and employer(s) to impact the field of facilities and project management, the economy, or U.S. societal welfare more broadly at a level commensurate with national importance. Expert letters and letters of recommendation did not offer persuasive detail concerning the broader impact of her proposed endeavor.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested further evidence regarding the national importance of the petitioner's proposed endeavor. The petitioner responded with an amended professional plan and statement, but these were found to be insufficient to demonstrate the required national impact.
