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 intends to develop a security services firm providing resocialization and rehabilitation consulting for former prisoners, security surveillance, and personal bodyguard services. The endeavor includes implementing security key performance indicators and aerial surveillance across locations in Florida, Texas, and California.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks national importance as it does not show broader implications beyond the company's specific clientele.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner did not establish the national importance of the endeavor (Prong 1). While the Petitioner has over seven years of experience and an advanced degree, the business plan lacked supporting evidence for its staffing projections (82 employees by year five) and revenue forecasts ($3.94 million by year five), failing to show substantial economic impact or broader field implications.
