Location
Florida
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 open a mobile veterinary medical services company in Florida providing routine and emergency care for small animals. She intends to serve as the general manager and head veterinarian, offering consultations, vaccinations, and medical exams to homebound individuals or those with anxious pets.

Framework Evaluation

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

The endeavor has substantial merit but lacks national importance as it does not have broader implications for the field or significant economic impact.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of her endeavor under the first Dhanasar prong. While she holds a foreign equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree in veterinary medicine and has over five years of experience, her business plan's projections for 23 jobs and $2 million in revenue lacked sufficient evidentiary basis to demonstrate substantial economic impact.
