Decision Date
2024-09-17
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 as an executive or similar high-level managerial position in the U.S. financial sector, specifically in private wealth management for major banking institutions. She intends to offer her expertise to manage investments for ultra-high-net-worth clients.

Framework Evaluation

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

The proposed endeavor was found to have substantial merit, but the Petitioner failed to demonstrate its national importance by showing a broader impact beyond her employer and clients, or substantial positive economic effects for the country.

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 prong of the Dhanasar framework. USCIS found insufficient evidence to demonstrate that her work would have a broader impact beyond her employer and clients, or to show substantial positive economic effects or job creation on a national scale.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested further evidence to establish the national importance of the Petitioner's proposed endeavor. The Petitioner responded with a personal statement, an expert opinion letter, letters of recommendation, and industry reports, but these were deemed insufficient to corroborate claims of broad national impact.
