Framework Evaluation
0 of 1 criteria metEmployer Ability to Pay (Partially Met)
The AAO reserved consideration of this issue as the lack of qualifying experience was already dispositive for dismissal.
Experience Documentation (Not Met)
The Petitioner failed to provide letters from former employers that corroborated the required four years of specific industry experience and job duties.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The Petitioner did not establish the Beneficiary's qualifying experience of four years in consumer marketing and sales in the fashion jewelry industry by the priority date of March 24, 2016. Business registration documents provided did not corroborate job duties or specific employment dates, and inconsistencies in the Beneficiary's work history remained unresolved.
Request for Evidence (RFE)
Unsuccessfully AddressedThe NOIR requested clarification on inconsistent employment dates and proof of the ability to pay the proffered wage. The petitioner submitted business registrations which did not confirm duties or specific dates.

USCIS EB-3 dismissed
2022-11-16
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to resolve inconsistencies regarding the Beneficiary's work history with independent objective evidence. Consequently, the Petitioner did not establish that the Beneficiary possessed the required 24 months of experience as a jewelry repairer. While findings of willful misrepresentation and the invalidation of the labor certification were withdrawn, the lack of proven qualifications warranted the denial.

USCIS EB-3 remanded
2022-07-19
The matter was remanded because the record lacked the mandatory financial documentation (tax returns or audited statements) for 2019 onwards to verify the ability to pay. The Director must also evaluate the Petitioner's ability to pay the combined proffered wages for all beneficiaries of its pending or approved I-140 petitions. The Petitioner is allowed the opportunity to submit updated financial records and evidence regarding the totality of its circumstances.

USCIS EB-3 remanded
2022-07-28
The AAO withdrew the revocation, stating the Director erred by concluding a lack of a bona fide job opportunity solely because the Petitioner identified the Beneficiary before the labor certification recruitment. DOL regulations do not prohibit seeking a specific person or creating a new position, provided the labor market is properly tested. The case was remanded for the Director to consider if recruitment efforts were otherwise proper.
