Decision Date
2024-06-04
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 project manager in the process engineering field, specifically helping companies optimize financial processes, enhance operational efficiency, and drive sustainable practices. He intends to provide services such as developing workflows, analyzing data to optimize product production, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to design process improvements.

Framework Evaluation

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

While the endeavor had substantial merit, it failed to demonstrate national importance as the impact was limited to the petitioner's employer and clients.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of his proposed endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong. USCIS found that his work primarily benefited his specific employer and clients rather than the field or U.S. economy at large, and expert letters were deemed to have little probative value as they focused on the general importance of the field rather than the specific endeavor.
