Decision Date

Location
Florida
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 consulting company in Florida focused on industrial production management. This endeavor aims to optimize processes, improve quality, and promote sustainability in industrial operations by offering services such as process analysis, quality management, technology implementation, and environmental sustainability consulting.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 The proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance Not Met

USCIS agreed the endeavor had substantial merit but found the petitioner did not establish national importance, as the potential impact was not shown to extend beyond the company's clients to the field more broadly.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of the proposed endeavor, thus not meeting the first Dhanasar prong. While substantial merit was acknowledged, the projected job creation (7-21 people over five years) and net profit ($649,456-$737,466 over five years) were deemed not indicative of national importance compared to the manufacturing industry's $797 billion in wages and $7 billion in revenue in 2023. The petitioner also failed to provide evidence for claims of transforming U.S. manufacturing, aligning with national objectives, or broader societal impact.
