Financial Advisory Services · 2024-10-10

Decision Date
2024-10-10
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 operate a company providing strategic financial advisory services tailored to small and medium-sized companies. The endeavor aims to help businesses grow and make a positive impact on the U.S. economy through job creation, innovation, and economic growth.

Framework Evaluation

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

The petitioner did not sufficiently demonstrate the national importance of the proposed endeavor, as the evidence did not show broader implications or substantial positive economic effects beyond benefiting direct clients.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of his proposed endeavor under the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. While the petitioner claimed job creation (11 direct jobs by year five, 77 jobs projected by RIMS II) and net profit ($95,514), these projections lacked sufficient detail and corroborating evidence. USCIS found no evidence that the endeavor offered broader implications in the finance and business industry or substantial positive economic effects for the country beyond benefiting the petitioner's direct clients.
