Proposed Endeavor

The petitioner proposes to work as a financial analyst in the financial planning and advice industry. The endeavor aims to support commercial and investment activities, facilitate U.S.-Brazil business relations, and improve financial literacy to drive foreign investment and increase U.S. revenues.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but the petitioner did not demonstrate that the work would impact the field more broadly or generate substantial economic effects.

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. Additionally, the AAO found the petitioner did not qualify as an advanced degree professional because his five years of experience were obtained prior to receiving his baccalaureate degree.
