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.

Framework Evaluation
0 of 3 criteria met1 Substantial Merit and National Importance Not Met
The petitioner submitted general articles about entrepreneurship but failed to show the national importance of her specific proposed venture.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The petition was dismissed because the petitioner did not meet the EB-2 advanced degree requirements, as her degree was not a single-source foreign equivalent and she lacked five years of post-baccalaureate experience prior to the November 2022 filing. Furthermore, she failed the first Dhanasar prong because her evidence focused on the general importance of entrepreneurship rather than the national importance of her specific endeavor.
