Proposed Endeavor

The Petitioner proposed to work as an entrepreneur and general manager in the field of road and transport tourism in the United States. The work focused on the direction and coordination of business activities within the transport sector.

Why This Petition Was Denied

Specifically, the Petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence for ten years of full-time experience, a salary demonstrating exceptional ability, membership in professional associations, or recognition for significant contributions to the industry.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed
