Decision Date
2024-03-29
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

1 of 3 criteria met
Labor Certification (Met)

A labor certification was accepted by DOL on December 16, 2019.

Experience Documentation (Not Met)

The petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary had the required two years of experience performing the specific duties of an accounting manager.

Education Credentials (Not Met)

The beneficiary's foreign degree was found to be equivalent to only two years of U.S. college, not a full bachelor's degree.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary gained at least two years of experience performing the specific duties listed in the labor certification. Furthermore, the evidence did not demonstrate that the beneficiary held a foreign equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree in accounting. Conflicting educational evaluations and employment history discrepancies remained unresolved.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE questioned whether the beneficiary's previous experience matched the job duties and noted inconsistencies in employment dates. The petitioner provided tax records and updated letters, but these did not sufficiently prove the duration of qualifying experience.

The motion to reopen failed to establish a valid successor-in-interest relationship due to inconsistent and unreliable documentation regarding the transfer of assets.

2023-04-04
The Beneficiary failed to meet the minimum requirements of the labor certification, which required a bachelor's degree in commerce or accounting. The record lacked an official college record showing a degree was awarded, and the Petitioner's reliance on the H-1B '3-for-1' experience rule was deemed inapplicable to this immigrant petition. Additionally, the labor certification (Form 9089) specifically stated that an alternate combination of education and experience was unacceptable.

2024-09-18
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.
