ability to pay combined proffered wages of multiple petitions
AAO 为什么未被说服
The 2018 net current assets of $309,120 appear sufficient for the individual proffered wage, but USCIS records indicate at least four additional petitions beyond those the Director inquired about, whose combined proffered wages must also be demonstrated. The Director failed to request information on these additional petitions, necessitating remand.

AAO found the Petitioner's comparison of the Beneficiary's salary to molecular biologists and biological scientists was inappropriate because her position was senior scientist; salary comparisons must be to those performing similar services. The salarylist.com data for senior scientists showed the average was $86,781 and 'high' was $250,000, meaning the Beneficiary's $108,000 salary did not place her at the high end of the spectrum for other senior scientists.
AAO found the recommendation letters speculated about potential future impact rather than demonstrating already-established major significance; patent citations were not shown to be commensurate with contributions of major significance; licensing/commercial marketing does not by itself show major significance; and evidence of impact on the overall field beyond the employer was lacking.
