Location
Florida
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 initially proposed to work as a treasurer and controller for U.S. companies to help plan and coordinate financial targets. Later, the endeavor shifted to operating a commercial and residential cleaning company that would also provide high-level accounting, strategic planning, and financial consulting services.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 Substantial Merit and National Importance Not Met

The petitioner failed to consistently articulate the nature of the endeavor and did not show it would have a prospective impact commensurate with national importance.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner made material changes to the proposed endeavor after filing, shifting from a treasurer role to an entrepreneurial cleaning business. The record failed to demonstrate that the endeavor had national importance or that the Petitioner's presence in a HUBZone was relevant given they are not a U.S. citizen.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested clarification on the proposed endeavor; the petitioner responded by changing the endeavor to an entrepreneurial cleaning business, which was deemed a material change.
