Location
United States
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 establish a production engineering consulting business in the United States to maximize clients' industrial production processes, perform in-depth process analyses, and build effective solutions for customers' operations to improve efficiency and reduce waste.

Framework Evaluation

1 of 3 criteria met
1 Substantial Merit and National Importance Partially Met

The endeavor was found to have substantial merit but lacked national importance.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence that his specific consultancy would have a 'broad' impact on the national economy or the production engineering field. The projected metrics (22 employees and $1.4 million revenue) were deemed insufficient to demonstrate national importance, and the petitioner failed to show how his work would advance the field as a whole.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested additional evidence to establish the national importance of the specific proposed venture.
