AAO 为什么未被说服
The Petitioner's 2017 net income was only $13,221 (per Schedule K line 18, not the higher ordinary business income figure), and its net current assets were negative ($-14,040), so neither figure was sufficient to cover the $32,113 shortfall between the proffered wage and the Beneficiary's 2017 wages.

Ability to pay via totality of circumstances (Sonegawa)
AAO 为什么未被说服
The Petitioner's tax returns contradicted its claim of recovering from a one-time income dip; gross receipts actually declined in 2017. Bank statements show account balances, not sustainable ability to pay, and the Petitioner failed to explain why its tax return painted an inaccurate picture.…

The Petitioner's tax returns contradicted its claim of recovering from a one-time income dip; gross receipts actually declined in 2017. Bank statements show account balances, not sustainable ability to pay, and the Petitioner failed to explain why its tax return painted an inaccurate picture. The owner's stated willingness to forego officer's compensation was based on an erroneous calculation significantly underestimating the true shortfall, so it did not establish actual willingness to forego the necessary amount.
The Beneficiary received only $48,300 in 2017, the priority year, which was below the proffered wage of $80,413, so wages-paid alone do not establish continuing ability to pay from the priority date onward.

Published material about the individual in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
Online evidence lacked original text, making translations unverifiable. Video translations were not matched to specific videos. Wikipedia articles about Shant TV and Vitamin Club were accorded no evidentiary weight, and even if credited, were insufficient to establish those outlets as major trade or major media.

Original contributions of major significance in the field
AAO 为什么未被说服
Letters about coached athletes lacked verifiable evidence of claimed awards and the Petitioner submitted no evidence of his training or qualifications as a coach. Even if coaching two nationally successful athletes, this did not amount to an original contribution of major significance. The manuals lacked evidence of originality and their impact was not supported by independent corroborating evidence.
