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 1 criteria met
Employer Ability to Pay (Partially Met)

The Petitioner demonstrated ability to pay the proffered wage for 2022, as the Beneficiary's actual wage exceeded the proffered wage. However, evidence for 2023 and 2024 was not available, leading to a remand for further documentation.

Why This Petition Was Remanded

The Director's decision was based on the Petitioner's perceived inability to pay the proffered wage. The AAO withdrew this decision, finding the Petitioner did demonstrate ability to pay for 2022. However, the case was remanded because the record lacked evidence of ability to pay for 2023 and 2024, which is required for continuing eligibility.

The Director's decision was withdrawn and the matter remanded because USCIS failed to issue an RFE or NOID, denying the Petitioner an opportunity to submit additional evidence. The Director also did not fully consider the totality of the circumstances regarding the Petitioner's ability to pay the proffered wage, as required by Matter of Sonegawa. The case requires further review of the evidence and a new decision.

The motion to reconsider was granted regarding the Petitioner's intent to employ the Beneficiary permanently, as the evidence, including a letter stating 'full-time, permanent basis for the foreseeable future,' was deemed sufficient. However, the case was remanded because the Petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence of its ability to pay the proffered wage of $93,600 annually for 2017 and 2018, as required by regulation.

The Director denied the petition due to the Petitioner's failure to demonstrate its ability to pay the proffered wage. The AAO sustained the appeal, determining that the Petitioner met the regulatory requirements by paying the Beneficiary $92,400 in 2022, which exceeded the $85,842 annual proffered wage, and by submitting its 2022 federal income tax return as required evidence.

USCIS EB-3 remanded
Texas 2024-07-03
The Director's decision was insufficient for review because it lacked analysis of relevant evidence submitted by the Petitioner, including newspaper advertisements, job orders, and internal applicant tracking records. The AAO determined that while there was cause for inquiry due to the former employee's fraud, the Director must explain why the specific evidence provided did not overcome the grounds for revocation. Consequently, the matter was remanded for a new decision that addresses all submitted documentation.
