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 company, V-, providing consulting and services in supply chain management, including the import, export, and distribution of rubber and plastic products (such as hoses and adhesives) between the U.S. and Brazil. The endeavor aims to advise U.S. companies on operational planning and facilitate cross-border projects and international trade.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 Substantial Merit and National Importance Not Met

The petitioner failed to show that the proposed business operations would impact the field or the U.S. economy at a level commensurate with national importance.

2 Well-positioned to Advance the Endeavor Not Met

The petitioner introduced material changes to the endeavor after the filing date, which cannot retroactively establish eligibility.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed Dhanasar prongs 1 and 2. Specifically, the petitioner made material changes to the endeavor after filing (switching from seeking employment to starting a new business), failed to show the endeavor had national importance rather than just benefiting his own company, and provided insufficient detail to support job creation and revenue projections.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The Director requested evidence for national importance. The petitioner responded by submitting a revised business plan for a newly formed company, V-.
