Decision Date
2024-03-20
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 serve as the CEO of two companies, one coordinating construction projects and the other managing related investments. The endeavor aims to expand his company and address the shortage of affordable housing for low-income families across the United States.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor was found to have substantial merit but failed to demonstrate national importance or broader implications for the field.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of his endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong. Although he projected creating 12 jobs and generating over $27 million in revenue, USCIS found these figures lacked supporting detail and did not represent a significant enough economic impact to be considered nationally important.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The petitioner submitted a patent application in response to the RFE to bolster the case for national importance.
