Decision Date

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 open a private practice in psychotherapy. This endeavor aims to provide mental health services, with projections for job creation and revenue generation over five years.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 The proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance. Not Met

The Director found the proposed endeavor, a private psychotherapy practice, lacked national importance due to insufficient evidence of broad impact beyond clientele or substantial economic benefit, citing projected 11 employees and $877,000 revenue over five years.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to challenge the reasons for the dismissal of her combined motions to reopen and reconsider. USCIS affirmed the original denial, finding that the proposed endeavor to open a private psychotherapy practice did not meet Dhanasar's first prong for national importance, as it lacked broad impact beyond clientele and only projected 11 employees and $877,000 in revenue by year five.
