Decision Date
2024-07-08
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 own and operate a mediation and conciliation business. The endeavor aims to provide dispute resolution services to individuals and small-to-medium-sized businesses, offering an alternative to the U.S. judicial system to reduce litigation burdens and costs.

Framework Evaluation

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

The proposed endeavor of operating a mediation business was found to lack national importance as it did not demonstrate a broad impact on the field or significant economic benefits.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The motion was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of the endeavor. Specifically, the projected creation of 26 jobs over five years was deemed a nominal economic benefit, and the petitioner did not show how her specific business would impact the field of mediation more broadly beyond her own clients.
