Location
United States
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 a company in the United States that provides home health care services. The business aims to help the country cope with a nursing shortage and care for a rapidly aging population while generating revenue and direct/indirect employment.

Framework Evaluation

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

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

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of the endeavor. Although she holds an advanced degree and the endeavor has substantial merit, the projected employment of 11 professionals and $1.8 million in revenue were deemed insufficient to show a broad regional or national economic impact.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested a detailed description of the endeavor and full English translations of the business plan. The petitioner provided some translations and URL citations.
