Chief Executive Officer And A Financial Consultant

Financial Services Consulting Business · 2024-05-17

Decision Date
2024-05-17
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 establish a financial services consulting business in Florida to provide financial advice, tax planning, and international growth strategies to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Additionally, the business intends to provide financial education and literacy training to vulnerable minority communities, specifically Latin American immigrants.

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 a potential prospective impact on the field or economy broadly.

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. Although the petitioner holds an advanced degree and the endeavor has merit, she did not provide objective evidence showing a broader impact on the field or significant economic effects beyond her immediate clients.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested evidence to satisfy all three Dhanasar prongs. The petitioner provided articles and reports on SMEs and financial literacy, but these did not establish the importance of her specific endeavor.
