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 specific endeavor is not detailed in the decision, as the AAO reserved the discussion on national importance due to the dispositive nature of the petitioner's failure to qualify for the underlying EB-2 classification.
Framework Evaluation
0 of 3 criteria met1 Substantial Merit and National Importance Not Met
The Petitioner did not demonstrate the national importance of her proposed endeavor.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the threshold EB-2 requirement of being an advanced degree professional, specifically lacking proof of five years of progressive experience. Furthermore, the petitioner did not establish the national importance of the endeavor (Prong 1), and the AAO declined to address other prongs as the initial grounds were dispositive.
