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 act as the founder and owner of a freight transportation (trucking) business, specifically focusing on the vehicle shipping segment. The endeavor aims to provide car shipping services and logistics within the United States transportation network.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 Substantial Merit and National Importance Partially Met

The endeavor was found to have substantial merit but lacked national importance.

2 Well-positioned to Advance the Endeavor Not Met

The petitioner failed to demonstrate he was well-positioned due to vague plans and inconsistent employment history.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet at least three of the six criteria for exceptional ability, specifically failing on academic record, licensing, salary, and professional memberships. Additionally, under the Dhanasar framework, the petitioner did not establish the national importance of the endeavor (Prong 1) or that he was well-positioned to advance it (Prong 2) due to material inconsistencies in his record.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested evidence for all EB-2 criteria and Dhanasar prongs; the petitioner provided a law degree and CDL, which were deemed insufficient or irrelevant.
