Sport Nutrition Retail Enterprise · Brazil · 2024-08-02
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 proposed to open a sport nutrition retail enterprise in the United States. This endeavor involves establishing and operating a business focused on selling sport nutrition products.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the EB-2 classification. Specifically, the Petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to prove that her post-graduate studies were equivalent to a U.S. Master's degree. Although her undergraduate degree was deemed equivalent to a U.S. Bachelor of Science degree, she failed to demonstrate five years of progressive experience in her field post-qualification, as required by regulation, with the provided letters of support not meeting regulatory requirements.
