Location
United States
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 work as a compliance manager for financial institutions and establish a consultancy company providing specialized training focused on anti-money laundering (AML) compliance. The work aims to combat critical issues like money laundering and terrorist financing through policy formulation and operational direction.

Framework Evaluation

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

The petitioner failed to demonstrate that the specific impact of her work would rise to the level of national importance or have broader implications for the field.

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 projected creating 36 jobs and generating $1.5 million in revenue over five years, the AAO found these metrics lacked sufficient basis and did not rise to a scale of national importance.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested more detail on the endeavor and evidence of national importance; the petitioner responded with a business plan for a new consultancy firm.
