Decision Date
2024-06-17
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 direct and oversee the operations of her company, V-, providing IT consultancy services for educational institutions. This includes developing software, implementing online learning platforms, virtual classes, and attendance tracking systems to improve student engagement and math competency.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks evidence of national importance or broader implications in the IT field.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The petitioner failed to meet Prong 1 because she did not demonstrate that her specific endeavor had implications beyond her own company and clients. While she has 24 years of experience and projected creating 28 jobs and paying $346,000 in taxes by year five, these projections were not sufficiently supported by objective evidence.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested evidence to support the national interest waiver; the petitioner provided a business plan and expert letters which the Director found insufficient for national importance.
