Although the Petitioner's net income for 2013–2015 appeared sufficient to cover the difference between wages paid and the proffered wage, the Petitioner had multiple pending I-140 petitions and was required to demonstrate combined ability to pay for all of them. Its RFE response was incomplete—omitting petitions that were denied, revoked, withdrawn, or filed before 2013—making it impossible to accurately assess the Petitioner's total wage burden. The Petitioner's 2017 payment and totality-of-circumstances arguments were also rejected.

AAO noted the Director's typographical error but found the underlying analysis sound.
