Decision Date
2024-05-29
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 own and operate a financial services company providing comprehensive financial auditing, regulatory compliance reviews, budget analysis, and contract bidding support. The endeavor aims to help small and medium-sized businesses minimize corruption and optimize financial operations to avoid waste and increase returns.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks national importance because its prospective impact does not extend beyond the petitioner's clients to the industry or field more broadly.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of the endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong. While the petitioner has over 9 years of experience and a bachelor's degree, the projected economic impact (5 employees and $966,144 in revenue by year five) was not shown to be on a scale rising to national importance or impacting the industry broadly.
