Decision Date
2024-08-16
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 proposed to develop and serve as general and operations manager for a financial and banking consulting firm specializing in providing services to the credit union industry. The Petitioner plans to provide its clients 'financial, banking, management and investments consulting and advisory services.'

Framework Evaluation

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

The Director found the endeavor had substantial merit but lacked national importance, as evidence for financial/employment projections and broader implications was insufficient.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the Director's decision, which found the proposed endeavor lacked national importance under Dhanasar's first prong, was affirmed. The Petitioner failed to demonstrate that the economic activity generated would have substantial positive economic effects or broader implications beyond her company and clientele. The Director explicitly considered the Petitioner's resume, business plan, contributions, letters of recommendation, and industry reports.
