Syringes And Injection Needle Manufacturing Industry · Brazil · 2024-07-24

Decision Date

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 serve as the CEO of a U.S.-based business operating in the syringes and injection needle manufacturing industry. The endeavor involves providing various types of syringes and needles for wholesale, logistics, fulfillment services, and account management/broker outsourcing. The business aimed to create 53 direct jobs and generate several million dollars in revenue over five years.

Framework Evaluation

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

The record did not demonstrate the national importance of the proposed endeavor or its potential for substantial positive economic effects.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner did not establish the national importance of the endeavor (Prong 1). While she claimed the creation of 53 direct jobs and $5.17 million in wages, the AAO found these projections uncorroborated and noted that the business's scale was negligible compared to the $3.6 billion industry. Additionally, inconsistencies were found between the business plan and expert letters regarding whether the firm was a manufacturer or a consulting firm.
