Decision Date

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 operate a financial consulting firm as a managing partner and CFO, providing financial, audit, controls, and tax advisory services. The work focuses on developing financial plans, recovering profitability, and identifying investment opportunities for U.S.-based companies and financial institutions.

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 show potential for significant economic impact or broader industry implications.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of his endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong. Although he projected 25 jobs and $5.8 million in revenue, he provided no evidence to substantiate these projections or show a substantial impact on the regional or national economy. Additionally, the AAO questioned his EB-2 eligibility, noting his four-year foreign degree might not be equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree based on EDGE data.
