Chief Executive In The Field Of Security Services

Security Guard Service · Brazil · 2024-05-23

Decision Date

Location
Oklahoma
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 establish and serve as the Chief Executive Officer of a private security guard service company. The endeavor focuses on providing security services to businesses and organizations, including churches and local contractors.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not meet the EB-2 exceptional ability requirements; specifically, his 26 years of experience in Brazilian law enforcement did not match his proposed occupation as a private security CEO. Additionally, his academic certificates and professional memberships (such as a compulsory pension fund) were deemed standard for the field rather than indicative of exceptional expertise. The AAO also noted that recommendation letters from church members and local business owners did not establish significant contributions to the industry.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested detailed evidence of how the petitioner's contributions were significant to the field. The petitioner responded with letters of intent from potential clients, which did not address the significance of past contributions.
