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 international tax consultant for American companies by establishing and operating her own company in Florida. The firm intends to provide financial advice, tax management, financial research, and sales projections through a team of professionals.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner met only two of the six criteria for exceptional ability (academic record and ten years of experience), failing to meet the required three. Specifically, she failed to prove her salary demonstrated exceptional ability compared to peers and her professional memberships did not meet the regulatory definition of a 'profession' requiring a U.S. baccalaureate degree.
