AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO agreed the Petitioner had not yet demonstrated ability to pay, but found the Director erred by not requesting key information (priority dates and proffered wages of other I-140 petitions) needed to evaluate the total wage burden. AAO remanded for the Director to gather this information before issuing a new decision. AAO also rejected the Petitioner's proration and declined-offer arguments as inconsistent with USCIS policy.
