Decision Date
2024-08-16
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 in the United States as a financial manager, providing specialized services in relationship management, investment, people management, and financial departments to benefit financial institutions and clients. Her work would involve data analytics, business intelligence, financial planning, and forecasting, aiming to boost operational efficiency and growth in the U.S. banking sector and enhance societal welfare.

Framework Evaluation

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

USCIS found the endeavor had substantial merit (business) but did not establish national importance, as its impact was not shown to extend beyond immediate employers/customers or to have significant potential for U.S. job creation or substantial positive economic effects.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish the national importance of her proposed endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong. While the endeavor had substantial merit in business, the claims of national importance relied on the general importance of the financial industry rather than the specific impact of her work. The record did not support assertions that her services would have broader implications beyond immediate employers/customers or significant potential to employ U.S. workers or generate substantial positive economic effects, lacking projected employment numbers or revenue growth attributable to her specific endeavor. Expert letters also provided little probative value regarding national importance.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The Director requested additional evidence on the national importance of the Petitioner's proposed endeavor. The Petitioner responded with a new professional plan focusing on boosting the U.S. banking sector's efficiency and growth through data analytics, and provided new reference letters. However, the response did not sufficiently establish national importance.
