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 provide instruction coordination and training for family counseling and advocacy in primary education programs focused on child welfare, as well as teaching activities for children in early learning programs. She intends to develop a business in Florida offering workshops, family support services, and curriculum development.

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 broad implications for the field or significant economic impact.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the first prong of the Dhanasar framework, specifically regarding national importance. Although she holds an advanced degree and her work has substantial merit, her business plan for a small company with six employees and projected revenues of $824,285 did not demonstrate a significant potential for national impact or broader implications in the field.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested more specific information about the proposed endeavor. The petitioner responded with a business plan and expert letters, but the evidence was deemed insufficient to show national importance.
