Through his company, he aims to facilitate the expansion of companies into international markets using strategic and operational consulting solutions.

Framework Evaluation

1 Substantial Merit and National Importance Partially Met

The evidence, including a business plan and an expert letter from a credential evaluation firm, lacked sufficient financial or staffing projections to demonstrate substantial positive economic effects or a broader impact beyond the petitioner's immediate clients.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed
