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.

USCIS EB-3 remanded
Texas 2022-09-29
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.

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner's business ceased operations in 2019, rendering the job offer not bona fide at the time the I-140 petition was filed in February 2020. The Petitioner also made material misrepresentations on the I-140 form regarding the full-time and permanent nature of the position. The argument for job portability was rejected as the underlying petition was not valid to begin with.
