Decision Date
2024-11-21
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 intends to continue her career as a financial and investment analyst by operating her own consulting company, which will offer financial solutions and management expertise to small and medium-sized business owners. The company will provide budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning services, specializing in a financial dashboard tool, business planning, growth plans, market research, and finance management training. Additionally, the petitioner intends to offer financial literacy courses to low-income individuals to foster financial literacy and entrepreneurship.

Framework Evaluation

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

The proposed endeavor was found to have substantial merit, but the petitioner failed to demonstrate its national importance, as the benefits were not shown to impact the industry broadly or generate substantial positive economic effects commensurate with national importance.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate the national importance of her proposed endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong. While the endeavor had substantial merit, the evidence did not show broader implications beyond direct customer benefits or economic effects rising to a national level. The business plan projected annual revenue of $1,603,700 and employment of 28 individuals with an annual payroll of $946,111 by the fifth year, but these projections lacked sufficient explanation and were not deemed to operate on a scale of national importance. Expert letters focused on the petitioner's background rather than the prospective national impact of her specific endeavor.
