Liquor Store · India · 2024-10-30
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 metJob Qualifications (Not Met)
The Beneficiary did not establish the required two years of experience for the bookkeeper position due to inconsistencies and credibility issues with the submitted employment letters.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The motions to reopen and reconsider were dismissed because the new evidence did not establish the Beneficiary's required two years of experience for the skilled worker classification. Unresolved inconsistencies in the Beneficiary's identity and entry dates, coupled with credibility concerns regarding evidence from his brother, undermined the probative value of the submitted documents. The Petitioner failed to meet the preponderance of evidence standard to prove eligibility.

New letters submitted on motion were not contemporaneous, lacked specificity regarding job duties and dates, and were written by individuals without access to official payroll records. The Petitioner also failed to demonstrate a continuing intent to employ the Beneficiary.

USCIS EB-3 remanded
2024-02-20
The Director's initial denial regarding the beneficiary's qualifications was withdrawn because the evidence supported the required 24 months of experience. However, the case was remanded because the Petitioner failed to provide regulatory-required evidence (8 C.F.R. § 204.5(g)(2)) to demonstrate the ability to pay the proffered wage from the 2020 priority date onward.

USCIS EB-3 rfe dismissed
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.
