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 operate a financial consulting firm providing services to small- and medium-sized businesses in the U.S. and Latin American companies expanding to the U.S. market. The work focuses on improving global results, reducing costs, avoiding bankruptcy, and encouraging foreign investment through financial analysis and strategic management.

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 significant potential for U.S. worker employment or substantial economic effects.

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 business plan projected hiring 16 individuals and generating $2,009,000 in revenue by the fifth year, the USCIS found these projections lacked a sufficient basis and failed to show substantial positive economic effects on a national or regional scale.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested further evidence to establish the national importance of the proposed financial consultancy. The petitioner responded with a business plan and industry reports.
