Decision Date
2025-02-05
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's proposed endeavor involves work as an industrial and quality engineer. The specific details of the proposed work, methodologies, and applications are not elaborated in the provided text, beyond its general field.

Framework Evaluation

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

USCIS found that the Petitioner did not establish that the proposed endeavor satisfied the national importance element of the first prong.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The Director denied the petition because the Petitioner did not establish eligibility for the EB-2 classification or a national interest waiver. Specifically, the Petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proposed endeavor satisfied the national importance element of the first prong under Matter of Dhanasar. The AAO dismissed the motion to reconsider, finding that the Petitioner's arguments were a repetition of prior assertions and did not show that the previous decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested evidence regarding the national importance of the proposed endeavor. The Petitioner responded by reiterating previous arguments and evidence, which the Director and AAO found insufficient to establish national importance.
