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 serve as an individual consultant providing comprehensive information technology services to companies in the United States. The work involves the development, implementation, and ongoing maintenance of entire information technology infrastructures to support client profitability and productivity.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 Well Positioned to Advance the Proposed Endeavor Not Met

The petitioner failed to show interest from potential customers or provide a sufficiently detailed plan for her consultancy business beyond a summary of qualifications.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed primarily because the petitioner did not satisfy Dhanasar's second prong; she failed to provide a detailed business plan, evidence of interest from potential customers, or specific examples of how her past work influenced the field. Furthermore, the AAO found that her experience letters lacked specific descriptions of duties, failing to meet the regulatory requirements for EB-2 advanced degree professional status.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested evidence to show the petitioner was well-positioned; she responded with a personal plan and letters, but these were deemed insufficient or conclusory.
