Florida
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 expand her Florida-based company, C-B-LLC, to provide consulting, advisory, and specialized training in business management and internationalization for Brazilian and American brands. The endeavor includes services such as economic feasibility studies, bilateral business expansion formatting, and an educational portal for mentoring.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks national importance as it does not demonstrate broader implications for the field or significant economic impact.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of her endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong. Although she projected hiring 10 employees and generating $1.8 million in revenue by year five, the evidence did not show substantial positive economic effects or broader implications for the industry beyond her specific clientele.
