Decision Date
2024-12-02
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 an investment consulting business providing financial advisory services to strengthen the financial health of businesses. The endeavor specifically aims to leverage her understanding of the Brazilian business environment to enhance the global competitiveness of U.S. companies.

Framework Evaluation

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

The petitioner did not demonstrate that the specific endeavor would have significant potential to employ U.S. workers or offer substantial positive economic effects nationally.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal and subsequent motions were dismissed because the petitioner did not establish the national importance of her endeavor under the first prong of Dhanasar. While she projected $3.32 million in revenue and 24 jobs, she failed to show how these specific projections would have substantial positive economic effects on a national level or in specific distressed areas. Additionally, the AAO noted that her skills and 29 years of experience relate to the second prong rather than the national importance of the endeavor itself.
