Decision Date
2024-07-11
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 serve as the Chief Executive Officer of a dental services company operating clinics in the United States, leveraging his experience as a managing partner of an oral health company in Brazil.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The Petitioner failed to meet the threshold EB-2 eligibility requirements for an advanced degree professional because he did not provide sufficient evidence of five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE focused on the lack of employer letters documenting five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience. The response was insufficient as it relied on character/success endorsements rather than regulatory-compliant employment records.
