Decision Date
2025-03-07
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 consultancy company providing services to businesses entering e-commerce or undergoing digital transformation, including website/application development, security enhancements using blockchain and machine learning, and site optimization.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor was found to have substantial merit but lacked national importance because its impact was limited to individual clients and did not show broader implications.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the national importance requirement. The business plan's projections for hiring 25 employees and generating a net profit of $114,370 by the fifth year were not considered significantly high for the IT industry or indicative of a substantial positive economic effect.
