United States
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's proposed endeavor is to continue working as an Industrial Engineer for a company based in the United States, aligning with his vision of contributing to the country's economy and addressing existing needs in various industries, especially medicine. He stated that his endeavor will focus on tackling critical challenges in the Manufacturing Industry, supply chain management, and healthcare system.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 The proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance Not Met

The Petitioner established the substantial merit of the proposed endeavor in the field of business, but failed to demonstrate its national importance. The evidence focused on the importance of the industry or benefits to a specific employer, not broader national implications or substantial positive economic effects for the nation.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish the national importance of his proposed endeavor under the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. Evidence, including publications and expert letters, focused on the importance of the manufacturing industry or benefits to a specific employer (e.g., cost savings of over $450K USD annually), rather than demonstrating broader national implications or substantial positive economic effects beyond his employer(s). Claims of job creation and ameliorating STEM shortages were not substantiated with evidence of national scale impact, and his endeavor was not shown to sufficiently extend beyond his employer(s) to impact his field, the economy, or U.S. societal welfare more broadly at a level commensurate with national importance.
