Decision Date
2024-08-26
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 work as an entrepreneur in supply chain management, offering specialized outsourcing and supply-chain management to U.S. companies. This includes supply chain consultancy, purchase outsourcing, negotiation and procurement training, and alternative supplier searches, aiming to shorten industrial processes, increase productivity, and enhance business sustainability.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 The proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance Not Met

The AAO found the endeavor had substantial merit but lacked national importance, as the petitioner's economic projections were not sufficiently corroborated, and the evidence did not demonstrate a broader impact beyond direct clients or typical business goals.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of the proposed endeavor under Dhanasar's first prong. The AAO found that projected job creation (12 in year 1, 390 in year 5) and revenue ($2.27 million in year 1, $47.3 million in year 5), along with $1.7 million in tax revenue over five years, lacked sufficient explanation and corroboration to demonstrate substantial positive economic effects at a national level. Expert letters and industry reports provided general information but did not specifically detail how the petitioner's individual business would have a broader national impact.
