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 information technology consulting services through his company to improve product management and online training for American businesses. The endeavor aims to increase revenue for clients using the approach 'product management for everyone.'

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks national importance as it does not have broader implications for the field or a significant economic impact.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed primarily because the petitioner failed Dhanasar prong 1; his endeavor lacked national importance as it did not show broad implications beyond his immediate clients. Although he has 18 years of experience and projected creating 84 jobs and $10.3M in revenue by year 5, these figures were not shown to have a substantial economic impact on the region or nation.
