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 a financial consultancy company in Florida providing services to small and medium-sized enterprises. The work involves refining financial documentation, enhancing tracking systems, and bolstering fiscal stability to help businesses secure loans and prevent misconduct.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 Substantial Merit and National Importance Partially Met

The endeavor was found to have substantial merit but lacked sufficient evidence of national importance or substantial positive economic effects.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet Prong 1 of the Dhanasar framework. Specifically, the evidence did not demonstrate that the endeavor's impact would extend beyond the petitioner's clients to a level of national importance, and projected job creation (5-12 positions) and revenue ($807,000) were not shown to have substantial positive economic effects.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested further evidence of national importance. The petitioner provided a business plan and industry articles, but these failed to show the specific impact of her endeavor.
