Decision Date
2023-03-09
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 product manager, specifically focusing on developing insurance policies for small companies to help them succeed. The work involves leading projects intended to generate company revenue and facilitate the hiring of additional employees.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 Substantial Merit and National Importance Partially Met

The endeavor was found to have substantial merit in the field of business, but lacked evidence of national importance.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of the proposed endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong. While the petitioner holds an advanced degree (Master of Science in International Business and International Marketing), the evidence did not show that his specific work as a product manager would have substantial positive economic effects beyond his employer.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE sought to clarify the specific nature and impact of the proposed endeavor; the petitioner provided details on his current role in the insurance marketing sector.
