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 an accounting and tax firm (F-T-C-) focused on providing forensic tax services, international accounting, and cryptocurrency transaction compliance. The work aims to facilitate economic correspondence between American companies and the Latin American market, specifically Brazil, while reducing fraud and liabilities.

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 substantial positive economic effects.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish the national importance of the endeavor; specifically, she failed to show that the prospective impact of her consulting services would extend beyond her clientele to the broader industry. Although she projected hiring 77 employees and reaching $6.3 million in revenue by year five, she did not demonstrate that these figures would result in substantial positive economic effects for the U.S. or an economically depressed area.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested evidence to establish the national importance of the endeavor; the petitioner responded by elaborating on foreign investment initiatives and tax planning.
