Decision Date
2023-05-02
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 work as a computer network manager, providing services to small and large businesses in both the private and public sectors. He intends to develop and implement network solutions to maximize company efficiency and productivity, while also disseminating his knowledge to other professionals in the field.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 Substantial Merit and National Importance Not Met

The endeavor lacks national importance as it does not show broader implications beyond the petitioner's specific employer and clients.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of his proposed endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong. The record did not demonstrate that his work would have broader implications beyond his specific employer and clients, nor did it provide probative evidence of significant job creation or substantial positive economic effects.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested a more specific definition of the endeavor and evidence for all three Dhanasar prongs. The petitioner responded with a professional plan and general IT industry articles.
