Location
Illinois
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 develop and manage an accounting and financial advisory services company. This company will offer specialized services in accounting, fiscal management, payroll processing, corporate tax consultancy, and financial accounting, aiming to set high standards and influence best practices in the U.S. industry.

Framework Evaluation

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

The petitioner established substantial merit but failed to demonstrate national importance, as her claims relied on the general importance of the financial services industry and unsubstantiated economic projections rather than the specific impact of her endeavor.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor has national importance under the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. USCIS found that relying on the general importance of the financial services industry and broad economic projections (e.g., $4,450,500 revenue over five years, 16 direct jobs, 21 indirect jobs) without specific corroborating evidence or a direct evidentiary tie to her specific endeavor was insufficient. The alleged shortage of finance managers was also deemed irrelevant to national importance under Dhanasar.
