Maryland
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 management consulting services in areas such as human resources, corporate strategy, accounting, and organizational design, specifically targeting small and medium-sized U.S. companies. The work aims to secure the success of these businesses, particularly those affected by COVID-19, by promoting growth, innovation, and job creation.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but fails to demonstrate national importance as the impact is limited to private clients and lacks evidence of broader economic effects.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not satisfy Prong 1 of the Dhanasar framework. Although the business plan projected $3.5 million in revenue and 24 jobs over five years, USCIS found these figures insufficient to demonstrate a national or regional economic impact beyond the petitioner's immediate clients.
