Ability to pay combined proffered wages for all I-140 beneficiaries
AAO 为什么未被说服
The Petitioner failed on appeal, as before, to provide any evidence or information about its other I-140 petitions and beneficiaries despite being put on notice that this was a primary ground for denial. Revenue and employee figures cited by the Petitioner do not appear in the annual report and are uncorroborated. Without this information, the total proffered wage obligation cannot be determined.

Petitioner's own net income or net current assets sufficient to cover proffered wage
AAO 为什么未被说服
The parent company's annual reports contain no separate net revenue or employee figures for the Petitioner itself, providing no independent financial picture of the Petitioner separate from its parent. The cited letter from the corporate secretary was never actually submitted and, even if it had been, would not have been convincing absent evidence about other I-140 obligations.

Wages paid to beneficiary equal to or exceeding proffered wage
AAO 为什么未被说服
The Beneficiary's 2018 gross pay of $83,381.40 was below the proffered wage of $110,510, so the Petitioner did not establish ability to pay through wages paid.

AAO found that the Uzbekistan Republican Championship is inherently national in scope, drawing participants only from regions within Uzbekistan, and the Petitioner did not show it attracts significant attention outside Uzbekistan. AAO noted that qualifying awards must be global in scope and internationally recognized as one of the top awards in the field.

AAO found the record lacked evidence establishing the nature of the judging role, and the Petitioner did not show he actually judged competitors (e.g., assigning points or determining winners) rather than merely acting as a referee enforcing rules.

Original contributions of major significance in the field
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the supporting letters were of questionable origin due to near-identical language, and they merely repeated regulatory language without explaining how the Petitioner's accomplishments impacted or influenced others in the field. Winning competitions is separately covered under criterion (i) and does not inherently constitute an original contribution of major significance.

Leading or critical role for organizations or establishments with a distinguished reputation
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the record did not sufficiently establish the nature of the Petitioner's role, whether it was for the entire school/club or a single team, or the distinguished reputation of either the school or any individual team. The record also did not clarify the organization's structure across what was a span of nearly 20 years.

Published material about the individual in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO agreed the criterion was not met. The submitted articles lacked required publication information, post-dated the petition filing, or were from publications not shown to qualify as major media. No objective evidence established the circulation or prominence of the publications.
