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 disseminate research findings and a program related to palliative care and hospice staffing shortages. The methodology aims to influence palliative care practices nationwide and is also applicable to assisted living facilities.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 Proposed endeavor has substantial merit and national importance Not Met

The USCIS found that the petitioner did not establish the national importance of the proposed endeavor, failing to demonstrate broader implications or a positive impact on the national economy beyond a local scope.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The petition was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish the national importance of the proposed endeavor, thus not meeting the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. USCIS found that the record did not demonstrate broader implications of the proposed endeavor at a level of national importance or that it would positively impact the national economy. Subsequent motions to reopen, including new reports, articles, and letters of support, did not provide sufficient corroborating documentation to show a broad impact beyond a local level or to overcome the previous decision.
