Location

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 manufacture, develop, and manage the installation of eco-friendly, water-based epoxy products for painting and coating in industrial settings. The work aims to improve health, safety, and environmental standards by reducing the impact of toxic materials in various industries.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the threshold for EB-2 exceptional ability, satisfying only one criterion (degree) after the AAO withdrew the Director's finding on the 10-year experience criterion. Specifically, the petitioner provided inconsistent salary data compared to union standards and letters from customers that did not constitute recognition for significant contributions to the field as a whole.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE targeted the petitioner's qualification as an individual of exceptional ability. The petitioner responded with financial documents and expert letters, but the evidence was found inconsistent or insufficient to meet the regulatory criteria.
