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 1 criteria met
Beneficiary meets the requirements of a DOL-certified position and a requested immigrant visa category (Not Met)

The Beneficiary's claimed full-time experience in Pakistan could not be sufficiently verified with independent, objective evidence to resolve inconsistencies with his prior visa application, thus failing to meet the 24 months of required experience.

Why This Petition Was Denied

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.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE (NOID) questioned the Beneficiary's claimed qualifying experience due to a contradiction in his U.S. visitor's visa application where he stated no prior employment. The petitioner responded with additional letters, affidavits, Pakistani tax records, and a social media site, along with the Beneficiary's explanation for the omission.

The AAO withdrew the revocation because the NAICS code error did not materially change the job opportunity, which remained a retail management position. The case was remanded to evaluate the Beneficiary's qualifying experience and the Petitioner's ability to pay the $56,389 proffered wage. Specifically, the record showed insufficient net income and net assets in 2017 to cover the wage.

USCIS EB-3 rfe remanded
2022-06-17
The AAO withdrew the Director's finding regarding the lack of a bona fide job opportunity, noting that recruitment was performed and Japanese language skills were required. The case was remanded to determine if the job offer is permanent, as the record lacked evidence of the Beneficiary's interpretation of the three-year employment commitment agreement. The Director must now seek additional proof regarding the intended term of employment.
