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.
Framework Evaluation
0 of 2 criteria metJob Qualifications (Not Met)
The Petitioner did not demonstrate the Beneficiary's qualifying experience for the offered job or the requested immigrant visa category.
Employer Ability to Pay (Not Met)
The Petitioner did not establish his ability to pay the offered job's proffered wage.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The initial appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to demonstrate the Beneficiary's qualifying experience for the offered job. The subsequent motions to reopen and reconsider filed by the Petitioner's son were dismissed due to lack of standing. The Beneficiary's current motions to reopen and reconsider were dismissed because they exceeded the scope of the AAO's review, as they did not address the factual or legal correctness of the latest decision (which focused on the Petitioner's son's lack of standing).

The motions were dismissed because the Petitioner's son is not an 'affected party' with legal standing, as a sole proprietorship ceases to exist upon the death of the owner. Furthermore, the Beneficiary did not properly request to port the visa under INA Section 204(j) by failing to file Form I-485 Supplement J at the correct USCIS address.

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner did not provide sufficient independent, objective evidence to corroborate the Beneficiary's claimed full-time work experience in Pakistan, which was necessary to meet the 24 months of required experience. The Beneficiary's prior U.S. visitor visa application, where he stated no previous employment, created an inconsistency that required more than just employer letters to resolve.

The motion to reopen was dismissed because it did not state new facts, providing only tax returns and articles already present in the record. The motion to reconsider was dismissed because it failed to address the grounds of the prior decision and instead re-argued merits regarding the ability to pay and the materiality of the concealed sibling relationship.
