Decision Date
2024-12-04
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 work as a financial administrator to help businesses make educated decisions through accurate analysis of finances and credit. She intends to manage financial accounts, make operational improvements to bolster productivity, and reevaluate investment portfolios.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks evidence of national importance or broader implications beyond the immediate employer.

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 met the EB-2 advanced degree requirement through a bachelor's degree and five years of experience, she failed to show her specific work would have broader implications for the field or the U.S. economy.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE targeted the national importance of the endeavor; the petitioner provided expert letters and personal statements which were ultimately found insufficient to show broader impact.
