Decision Date

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 provide financial services to companies and individuals, including advising on accounting, investing, insurance, and securities. He intends to develop and innovate financial models, analyze financial data, and provide guidance to small and medium-sized business owners to improve professional talent and facilitate cross-border transactions.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks evidence of national importance or broader implications beyond the petitioner's specific clients.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of his endeavor (Prong 1). While he met the EB-2 advanced degree requirement through a bachelor's degree and over five years of experience at B-S-SA, his proposed work was found to have localized impact rather than the required broader implications for the U.S. economy or the financial services industry.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The Director issued an RFE regarding the national importance of the endeavor; the petitioner provided industry reports and articles which were deemed too general.
