Location

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 continue her work as a communications specialist and video editor in the U.S. film and television industry. She aims to create visual stories, promotional videos, and behind-the-scenes documentaries to help filmmakers and studios achieve commercial success and inform audiences.

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 sufficient evidence of national importance.

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. Although she holds an advanced degree and her work has substantial merit, the impact was found to be limited to her employer and clients rather than the industry or economy more broadly.
