Pedi para IA revisar o caso como se fosse um revisor do USCIS que vai pegar meu caso para analizar. Pedi para pontuar pontos fortes e fracos.
Bottom line
The narrative is strong on substantial merit (Prong 1) — well-sourced with footnoted market data — and rich on biography/credentials, but it's noticeably thinner and less explicit on Prong 2 (well-positioned) and Prong 3 (balance favors waiver) under Matter of Dhanasar. That structural gap is the main thing I'd flag before this goes to USCIS, because that's exactly where RFEs on NIW petitions tend to land.
What's working well
- Prong 1 (national importance): Strong. Specific, footnoted statistics (CMS $5.3T healthcare spend, $638B PBM market, Capgemini LATAM wealth data, Miami cargo/HQ figures) tie her work to macro-economic significance rather than just asserting it.
- Credentials: STEM-designated Executive MBA, Summa Cum Laude BS, honors societies — all classic positive Dhanasar factors, clearly stated.
- Track record: Awards (Stevie, Digital Health Awards), quantified outcomes (40% comms effectiveness, 80% engagement increase, $578K PR value, 64.9M reach) — good, specific evidence of past success.
- Progressive responsibility: Assistant → Coordinator → Specialist → Manager → Head of Marketing is a clean, easy-to-follow trajectory that supports "well positioned."
Gaps I'd raise with the lawyers
- No explicit Dhanasar prong structure. The statement never labels or organizes around the three prongs. Adjudicators use that framework directly — a petition that maps to it explicitly (even with subheadings) is easier to approve on its face and harder to RFE. Right now Prong 1 evidence, Prong 2 evidence, and biography are all interwoven, and Prong 3 is nearly absent.
- Prong 3 is the weakest link. There's only one passage (the H-1B "employer-specific nature... limits the broader scope" paragraph) that even gestures at why waiving the job offer/labor certification benefits the U.S. This needs its own explicit argument — e.g., why a labor certification process (tied to one employer, one fixed position) is impractical for the cross-employer, cross-industry nature of the work, and why the U.S. benefits more from her working flexibly across sectors than from the standard process.
- The forward-looking plan reads as thin relative to the past-work recap. ~85% of the letter is biography; the "proposed endeavor" is largely restated intent ("I intend to continue...") rather than a concrete plan — target types of engagements, timeline, whether this is planned to stay at Insigneo or expand to consulting/multiple clients, etc. USCIS commonly RFEs NIW petitions for insufficient specificity on the future endeavor, since Dhanasar requires more than "I'll keep doing what I've been doing."
- No exhibit cross-references. Every major claim (Stevie Awards, PR figures, "Gio by VerusRx" naming, rebrand results) is asserted with no "(see Exhibit __)" tie to supporting documentation. If the full petition includes press releases, award certificates, executive letters, etc., this document should point to them — it currently reads as freestanding rather than integrated into the evidence package.
- Employer name inconsistency: the letter says "Insigneo Financial Group" in the body; worth confirming this matches the legal entity name used elsewhere in the petition (I have it noted elsewhere as "Insigneo Financial Services") — a mismatch between petition documents is a common, easily-fixed RFE trigger.
- Unusual anecdotes need corroboration. The app being named "Gio by VerusRx" with an avatar modeled on her is a nice differentiator but could read as unverifiable without a supporting exhibit (screenshot, executive letter confirming it, press mention).
- Endeavor breadth. The letter frames one endeavor with two regulated-industry "focus areas" (wealth management + healthcare/PBM). That's generally fine under Dhanasar, but it's worth your lawyers double-checking it doesn't read as two separate endeavors, which can create definiteness pushback.
Suggested next step with your lawyers
Ask them directly: (a) do they want to restructure with explicit Prong 1/2/3 headers, and (b) can they add a stronger, standalone Prong 3 paragraph and firm up the forward-looking plan with more concrete specifics. Those two edits would meaningfully de-risk the filing without touching the substance of what's already strong.

What is the Dhanasar prong structure?
The Matter of Dhanasar (2016) is the controlling USCIS/AAO precedent decision that set the current legal test for granting a National Interest Waiver. It replaced an older, vaguer standard with three specific prongs — a petitioner must satisfy all three for USCIS to approve the waiver:
Prong 1 — The proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance
- Substantial merit can be shown in business, entrepreneurial, scientific, technological, cultural, or other fields — it doesn't have to be groundbreaking, just genuinely significant.
- National importance looks at potential prospective impact: does the endeavor have broader implications for the field, the economy, job creation, U.S. competitiveness, healthcare, etc., beyond just the petitioner's own employer or a narrow local effect?
- This is the prong your statement's footnoted statistics (CMS healthcare spend, PBM market size, LATAM wealth figures) are aimed at — connecting your individual work to a bigger economic story.
Prong 2 — The petitioner is well positioned to advance the proposed endeavor
- USCIS looks at factors like: education, skills, and knowledge; a record of success in related endeavors; a documented plan for future activities; the progress already made toward the endeavor; and interest or support from relevant government agencies, industry, or research organizations.
- No single factor is required — it's a totality-of-the-evidence test. This is where your credentials, track record, awards, and case studies like VectorGlobal live.
Prong 3 — It would be beneficial to the United States to waive the job offer/labor certification requirement
- This is the most distinct and often the most overlooked prong. It's not just "is this person good" — it's specifically why the standard PERM labor certification process (which is tied to one employer, one specific job, testing the U.S. labor market) is a poor fit here, and why the national interest is better served letting the person work flexibly rather than through that process.
- USCIS considers things like: whether the labor cert process would be impractical because the endeavor isn't tied to a single employer or fixed position; whether the petitioner's contributions are urgent or time-sensitive; and whether the U.S. would benefit even if other qualified U.S. workers exist, because of the petitioner's unique combination of skills.
This is the prong I flagged as thin in the statement your lawyers drafted — it currently has only one paragraph gesturing at this ("employer-specific nature... limits the broader scope"), rather than a developed, standalone argument.
Petitions that explicitly organize around these three headers (rather than weaving them into a general narrative) tend to be easier for adjudicators to approve on their face, since it mirrors exactly how they're trained to evaluate the case.
