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 work as a marketing manager, utilizing her experience in advertising and media planning to help U.S. companies reach key targets. In response to an RFE, she also proposed developing a marketing consulting agency in Florida to provide brand strategy and digital marketing analysis for small and medium-sized companies.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor was found to have substantial merit but lacked sufficient evidence to demonstrate national importance or broader industry impact.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of her endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong. The AAO noted that her work would primarily benefit her specific employers rather than the industry or U.S. economy more broadly, and she failed to provide evidence of significant job creation or substantial economic impact.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested further evidence of eligibility; the petitioner responded by submitting a 'Definitive Statement' and a business plan for a new consulting agency.
