Decision Date

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 firm in the United States to provide human resources services to other U.S. companies. The endeavor focuses on planning, directing, and coordinating human resources activities and staff for client organizations.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to qualify for the EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional. The evidence did not establish five years of post-degree progressive experience; letters provided were either for pre-degree internships or described duties (contract obligations, product specifications) inconsistent with human resources functions. Consequently, the AAO reserved judgment on the Dhanasar prongs as the threshold EB-2 requirement was not met.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE addressed the petitioner's qualification for the EB-2 category. The petitioner responded by arguing the RFE was insufficient and provided a new letter from a business associate on appeal to prove five years of experience.
