Decision Date
2024-04-29
Location
United States
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 provide self-employment IT consultant services focused on software quality assurance and training for US-based companies. The endeavor aims to solve software quality gaps and train individuals to become IT experts and software testers to meet growing demand.

Framework Evaluation

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

While the endeavor had substantial merit, it lacked evidence of national importance or a broader impact on the field.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not satisfy the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. Specifically, the record did not establish that the proposed endeavor had national importance, as the impact was limited to the petitioner's company and clients rather than the field or economy more broadly.
