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 comprehensive business venture encompassing consultancy, advisory, original equipment manufacturing, training, and sales within the realm of technical, industrial, and corporate furniture.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 exceptional ability classification. Specifically, the Petitioner only met one of the six evidentiary criteria (10 years of experience) and failed to demonstrate exceptional ability through salary, professional association memberships, or recognition for significant contributions. USCIS did not evaluate the Dhanasar prongs as the foundational EB-2 eligibility was not met.
