Decision Date
2024-09-30
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's proposed endeavor is to start a business in the finance industry, specializing in real estate financing solutions for both American and international clients. This business aims to advance U.S. business and technology.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 The proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance. Not Met

The proposed endeavor was found to have substantial merit, but the petitioner failed to demonstrate its national importance by relying on general industry importance rather than the specific impact of her work.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance element of the first Dhanasar prong. While the endeavor was found to have substantial merit, the petitioner improperly relied on the general importance of the finance industry, entrepreneurship, and small businesses, rather than demonstrating the broader impact of her specific proposed work. USCIS declined to reach arguments concerning the remaining Dhanasar prongs.
