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 initially proposed to be a Business Intelligence Analyst and Sustainability and Business Intelligence Consultant, producing financial insights via data queries, reporting, and pattern spotting. This endeavor aimed to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and guide investment decisions focused on long-term value creation through sustainable practices.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 3 criteria met
1 Proposed endeavor has substantial merit and national importance Not Met

The petitioner did not establish that the proposed endeavor would have a broad enough impact to rise to the level of national importance, lacking forecasts for job creation, revenue, and wages, and failing to show broader implications for societal welfare.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The motion to reopen and reconsider were dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish new facts or demonstrate an incorrect application of law. The initial appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish the national importance of the proposed endeavor (Dhanasar Prong 1), failing to provide forecasts for job creation, revenue, and wages, or demonstrating broader societal welfare implications. USCIS also noted a material change in the proposed endeavor between the initial filing and the RFE response.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested evidence to establish the national importance of the proposed endeavor. In response, the petitioner presented a materially changed endeavor and submitted new industry articles and reports, which were deemed too general and not specific to the petitioner's work or its national importance.
