ability to pay proffered wage for multiple I-140 beneficiaries
AAO 为什么未被说服
The Petitioner's net current assets were far less than needed to cover total proffered wage obligations to 71 other beneficiaries. The unaudited financial statements submitted on appeal do not comply with 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(g)(2), and the totality of circumstances does not support ability to pay.

primary minimum requirement: five years of qualifying experience in the job offered
AAO 为什么未被说服
The proffered position is primarily supervisory in nature. The Beneficiary's prior nursing jobs involved only direct patient care with no supervisory functions. Since the experience requirement must be met with experience in the job offered — which is supervisory — and none of the Beneficiary's prior experience was supervisory, she does not satisfy the five-year experience component.

alternate minimum requirement: master's degree equivalent in nursing
AAO 为什么未被说服
The record shows the Beneficiary earned a baccalaureate degree, and the educational evaluation submitted by the Petitioner itself concludes it is equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree. AACRAO EDGE confirms Philippine bachelor's degrees are comparable to U.S. bachelor's degrees. The degree does not meet the master's equivalent requirement.

visa classification change request (clerical error claim)
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the Petitioner failed to establish the EB-2 selection was a clerical error. Counsel's bare assertion was unsupported by details or corroborating evidence, and the seven-month delay in raising the issue—only after an RFE—along with labor certification requirements consistent with EB-2 intent, undermined the clerical error claim.

AAO had previously found that the Petitioner did not show his petroleum engineering/data science work for his employer had implications beyond that company at a level demonstrating national importance, although his proposed carbon sequestration research did have substantial merit and national importance. The motion did not overcome this finding.

AAO reaffirmed that the recommendation letters lacked specific examples of impact or implementation of the Petitioner's work, that download counts did not establish influence, and that post-filing evidence (the 2018 paper and abstract, employment with the oil and gas company) could not be used to show eligibility at time of filing. Country conditions and family information were deemed irrelevant to the Dhanasar analysis.

documentation of acquisition of predecessor's business
AAO 为什么未被说服
The EMSA expressly preserved the predecessor's ownership of its intellectual property and other business assets, contemplated continued operation of the predecessor (including a one-year renewable term and termination provisions returning employees), and transferred only employees, not assets. Therefore the Petitioner did not acquire the essential rights and obligations needed to carry on the predecessor's business.

published material in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
The NPR article, while from a qualifying major media outlet, was about a Massachusetts band and only referenced the Petitioner tangentially as a dancer in a music video. Other published materials were performance listings (not about her), remaining pieces lacked evidence that the publications qualified as professional or major trade media, and some pieces lacked author identification as required by the regulation.

AAO noted that record evidence suggested the Petitioner had judged performances for admission to a New York dance school, but declined to resolve whether criterion iv was met because even assuming arguendo it was satisfied, she would still fall short of three criteria.
