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 establish an independent financial and investment assessments firm that will act responsibly and transparently with its clients, providing comprehensive financial advisory and developing financial products, control systems, and investment portfolio services. He intends to be the owner, chief executive officer, and certified financial planner of this endeavor, though he also inconsistently stated his proposed employment as an Accounting Supervisor.

Framework Evaluation

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

The petitioner failed to consistently describe his proposed endeavor, making it impossible to conclude that it has substantial merit and national importance.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner provided inconsistent information regarding his proposed endeavor, including conflicting job titles (financial manager/entrepreneur vs. accounting supervisor) and contradictory locations for operations (Illinois vs. Florida). This inconsistency prevented USCIS from concluding that the proposed endeavor met the substantial merit and national importance requirement of the first Dhanasar prong. The second and third Dhanasar prongs were not evaluated due to the failure on the first prong.
