Decision Date
2024-11-25
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 pursue a leadership role in the financial and budget management sector within U.S. companies, focusing on making strategic financial decisions and training the next generation of professionals.

Framework Evaluation

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

The petitioner failed to establish that her proposed endeavor had national importance, primarily due to an impermissible material change in the endeavor description after filing and insufficient evidence of broader societal or economic impact for the original endeavor.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The petitioner made an impermissible material change to her proposed endeavor after the filing date. Even considering the original endeavor, the record lacked adequate corroborating evidence to show broader implications or substantial positive economic effects for the country, failing to demonstrate national importance. USCIS declined to reach findings on the second and third Dhanasar prongs.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE prompted the petitioner to introduce a new proposed endeavor (establishing a financial consulting firm) which was considered an impermissible material change. The response did not sufficiently address the national importance of the original proposed endeavor.

RFE Targets
The proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance.
