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, a financial clerk, proposes to work in the United States in the field of accounting and business consulting. The endeavor involves providing essential accounting knowledge and services to businesses, potentially impacting the U.S. economy through financial oversight.

Framework Evaluation

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

The Director concluded the Petitioner did not show the endeavor would impact the field more broadly at a level commensurate with national importance.

Why This Petition Was Remanded

The appeal was remanded because the Director's original denial lacked specific legal and factual reasons and contained significant errors regarding the Petitioner's educational background (citing a 2005 degree instead of a 2016 degree). Additionally, the Director failed to evaluate the second and third Dhanasar prongs and did not properly address the Petitioner's motion to reconsider.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE questioned the Petitioner's EB-2 eligibility and the national importance of the endeavor; the Petitioner responded with industry reports and additional employment letters.
