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 metLabor Certification (Met)
The Petitioner obtained a DOL-approved labor certification with a priority date of October 9, 2015.
Employer's Ability to Pay (Not Met)
The Petitioner failed to explain discrepancies between its 2015 tax return and state revenue records showing significantly lower wage payments.
Experience Documentation (Not Met)
The Beneficiary's claimed experience was contradicted by other immigration filings and tax records, suggesting she did not work for the claimed employer during the specified period.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner's motions to reopen and reconsider were untimely, filed over a year after the revocation. Substantively, the Petitioner failed to resolve discrepancies between tax returns and state wage records to prove ability to pay. Furthermore, the Beneficiary did not establish the required two years of full-time experience in the job offered, and evidence suggested willful misrepresentation of her employment history.

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish that the Beneficiary possessed the 36 months of experience in the job offered as required by the labor certification. The record did not resolve discrepancies regarding the Beneficiary's employment history, and the prior experience cited was not in the specific real estate field required by the job duties. Consequently, the Beneficiary did not meet the minimum qualifications for the skilled worker classification.

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner, a single-member LLC, failed to demonstrate its continuing ability to pay the proffered wage. USCIS determined that only the LLC's finances could be considered, not the owner's personal finances, despite the LLC being a 'disregarded entity' for tax purposes. The LLC's net income was negative in 2022 and 2023, and other factors did not sufficiently establish its ability to pay.

The motion to reopen was dismissed because it did not state new facts, providing only tax returns and articles already present in the record. The motion to reconsider was dismissed because it failed to address the grounds of the prior decision and instead re-argued merits regarding the ability to pay and the materiality of the concealed sibling relationship.
