Decision Date

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 proposes to establish a financial advising company with a real estate specialization and property management services. She intends to advise clients on financial plans involving tax and investment strategies, securities, insurance, and pension plans, while assisting entrepreneurs with risk planning and forecasting.

Framework Evaluation

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

While the endeavor had substantial merit, it lacked national importance as the impact was limited to the petitioner's specific clientele rather than the industry at large.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner did not establish the national importance of her endeavor; her business plan's projections for 24 employees and $1.125 million in revenue by year five lacked supporting evidence. Additionally, the Director found she did not qualify as an advanced degree professional because she failed to establish five years of progressive experience following her bachelor's degree.
