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.

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.

The motion to reopen failed to establish a valid successor-in-interest relationship due to inconsistent and unreliable documentation regarding the transfer of assets. Additionally, the Beneficiary did not demonstrate that his three-year foreign degree was equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree as required by the EB-3 professional category.

USCIS EB-3 remanded
2025-03-06
The Director's decision was withdrawn and the matter remanded because USCIS failed to issue an RFE or NOID, denying the Petitioner an opportunity to submit additional evidence.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.
