Location
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 establish a Florida-based consulting company providing financial technology consulting services centered on decentralized finance and digital transformation. The endeavor aims to assist small-and medium enterprises (SMEs) in maximizing benefits from decentralized investments and facilitating fiscal trade between U.S., Latin American, and Caribbean entities.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks evidence of national importance or substantial economic benefit.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of the endeavor (Prong 1). While the work had substantial merit, the projected creation of 12 jobs and $140,247 in taxes was not considered substantial enough to have a national impact, and the work did not demonstrate broader implications for the industry or align sufficiently with national STEM initiatives.
