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 serve as the CEO of a financial management company in Florida providing consulting, resource management, and business administration services. The endeavor focuses on providing modern financial consulting to small and medium-sized companies to generate growth across diverse industries.

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 job creation or broader industry impact.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of the endeavor. Although she held an advanced degree in administration, her business projections (21 jobs and $50,914 profit by year five) were deemed insufficient to show substantial positive economic effects compared to the $329.9 billion management consulting industry.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested further evidence of national importance. The petitioner provided a revised business plan and an expert opinion letter from an accounting professor.
