Decision Date
2024-05-28
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 be an entrepreneur and develop an information technology consulting firm. The endeavor focuses on providing business intelligence and IT consulting services.

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 evidence of national importance.

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. Additionally, the petitioner's appeal brief was found to be a duplicate of previous submissions that did not specifically address or refute the Director's legal and factual conclusions. The petitioner holds two master's degrees and over a decade of experience, but these qualifications did not overcome the lack of evidence regarding the endeavor's prospective impact.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested evidence to establish the national importance of the proposed IT consulting firm. The petitioner provided a response that the Director and AAO found insufficient to meet the burden of proof.
