Location
Minnesota
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 a trade finance and operations management consulting company catering to small and medium-sized U.S. businesses. The endeavor involves providing advisory services, risk assessment, financial analysis, and training courses to help clients manage cash flow and comply with international trade regulations.

Framework Evaluation

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

The evidence addressed the occupation in general rather than showing the specific prospective impact of the petitioner's proposed consulting business.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of the proposed endeavor (Prong 1). While the petitioner has 17 years of experience and an advanced degree, the projected job creation (31 employees) and revenue ($3.5 million by year five) were not supported by sufficient evidence to demonstrate a substantial economic effect or broader impact on the industry.
