FAILWhat this decision can’t tell you
This decision comes from a case that was denied and then appealed. Every case here is in that position — it cannot be used to estimate an overall approval rate, and it cannot predict the outcome of any individual case, including yours. USCIS officers exercise discretion on facts that are never fully captured in a written decision.

Questions this raises for your lawyer
- On Prong 1 (substantial merit & national importance), USCIS found the petitioner's not specified insufficient to establish that the proposed endeavor has national importance due to its role in federally mandated quality frameworks, patient-facing transparency, and national scalability.. What would make comparable evidence in my own case more persuasive?
- Prong 2 (well positioned to advance the endeavor) was not established here. What does my case need to show on this element?
- Prong 3 (balancing the waiver's benefits) was not established here. What does my case need to show on this element?
