Decision Date
2025-03-18
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 mobile app that functions as a financial literacy and lending facilitation platform and a credit data analytics company. This app will offer tracking and monitoring of informal loans, provide financial literacy on lending, and help individuals build and manage their credit profiles to promote financial inclusion and literacy.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 The proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance. Not Met

The petitioner did not sufficiently demonstrate that the proposed endeavor has substantial merit and national importance, as the economic effects were not substantial enough to have broader implications beyond the company and its users.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. USCIS found that the projected financial figures (income of $1,967,867, cash flow of $4,784,862 over 3-4 years) and job creation estimates (3-4 employees) were not sufficiently corroborated or significant enough to demonstrate substantial economic benefits or national importance beyond the company and its users. The importance of the field itself was acknowledged, but the petitioner's specific contributions were not shown to have broader national or global implications.
