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 an IT consulting business in Florida focusing on strategic consulting in integrated management systems and related software. The goal is to deliver 135,000 hours of consultancy services and 730 projects within five years.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 Substantial Merit and National Importance Partially Met

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks evidence of national importance or significant potential to employ U.S. workers at a level that impacts the economy.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of the endeavor. The business plan's projections of 43 jobs and $25 million in revenue were deemed unsupported and insufficient to demonstrate substantial positive economic effects, even in a HUBZone.
