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 intends to continue his career in the procurement industry by providing services to U.S. companies, focusing on improving purchasing flow, supplier diversity, and optimizing resource allocation. This work aims to modernize and optimize supply and procurement logistics and management, ultimately supporting the growth of various industries and the U.S. economy.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 Proposed endeavor has substantial merit and national importance Not Met

The proposed endeavor was found to have substantial merit, but the evidence did not demonstrate national importance beyond the petitioner's future employer and its clients.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy Dhanasar's first prong, specifically regarding national importance. While the endeavor had merit, the evidence did not demonstrate significant potential to employ U.S. workers, substantial positive economic impact beyond his prospective employer, or broader industry implications. The decision noted a lack of evidence for innovative strategies developed by the petitioner or recognition of his skills by the U.S. procurement industry.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested evidence to establish that the proposed endeavor had national importance under Dhanasar's first prong. The petitioner responded by reiterating his qualifications and the general importance of the procurement industry, but failed to provide specific evidence of national impact.
