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 operate a company, C-V-H-, providing property management services for vacation rentals and assisting foreign buyers in purchasing vacation rental properties. The work focuses on marketing and managing properties specifically in the Central Florida area.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks national importance because its impact is limited to a local geographic area and does not offer broader industry benefits.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed as moot due to a duplicate filing and because the endeavor failed the national importance test. The petitioner failed to establish EB-2 eligibility as his educational credentials were not proven to be equivalent to a U.S. degree, and his business plan's projection of 10 jobs with a $150,000 payroll was considered to have only local rather than national impact.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE targeted the national importance of the endeavor and the petitioner's advanced degree eligibility. The petitioner provided website links to reports and a business plan, but these did not satisfy the evidentiary requirements.
