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 start a business in the United States providing security services with a specific focus on combatting drug trafficking. The endeavor aims to deter drug traffickers and enhance societal welfare through consulting and security operations.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks evidence of national importance or broader implications beyond the petitioner's immediate clients.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish the national importance of the endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong. Although he projected creating 22 jobs, paying over $1,000,000 in wages, and generating over $2,000,000 in revenue, these projections were not supported by objective data or shown to have substantial economic effects.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE sought to address deficiencies in all three Dhanasar prongs. The petitioner provided letters and a business plan, but the Director found the evidence insufficient to establish national importance.
