Decision Date

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 Beneficiary's proposed endeavor is to improve data architectural design solutions for healthcare systems and proprietary data platforms, and to provide access to integrated data.

Framework Evaluation

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

The proposed endeavor was found to have substantial merit in business and health, but the petitioner failed to establish its national importance, as the work did not extend beyond the employer and its customers.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of the proposed endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong. While the endeavor had substantial merit, the evidence did not demonstrate that the Beneficiary's work would extend beyond the employer and its customers to impact the field more broadly. Support letters and LinkedIn posts were deemed insufficient to prove national importance, and the argument of addressing a national shortage of AI-driven data security experts with one individual's employment was rejected.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested clarification on the proposed endeavor, as the initial statement was deemed insufficient. The petitioner responded by detailing the Beneficiary's work on improving data architectural design solutions for healthcare systems and proprietary data platforms, and providing access to integrated data.
