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 establish her own consulting company to work as a Revenue Management/Pricing analyst for small and medium-sized American companies in the travel and tourism sectors. The work involves providing product optimization, target customer identification, price management, and instruction on revenue optimization systems.

Framework Evaluation

1 of 3 criteria met
1 Substantial Merit and National Importance Not Met

The endeavor was found to have substantial merit but lacked sufficient evidence of national importance or broader industry impact.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of the endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong. While she projected creating 14 jobs and 20 contractor roles, she did not demonstrate that this level of job creation was significant or that her work would have broader economic implications beyond her specific clients.

Unsuccessfully Addressed
