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 a consulting firm in Florida to advise U.S.-based businesses and individuals on Brazilian law for trade and direct foreign investment projects. The endeavor aims to facilitate the expansion of American companies into the Brazilian market through professional legal and regulatory guidance.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks evidence of national importance or broader implications for the field.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not meet the first Dhanasar prong regarding national importance. Although the business plan projected employing 17 individuals by the fifth year and a net profit of $103,995, these figures were deemed insufficient to show substantial positive economic effects or a broad impact on the field.
