AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO concludes that even if the certificate is an official academic record, it is not a 'degree' from a college or university authorized under Indian law to confer degrees, and the three-year Indian bachelor's degree only equates to three years of U.S. university studies.

minimum experience in substantially different position
AAO 为什么未被说服
Multiple conflicting letters from the Petitioner's vice president—one describing the same duties as the offered position, another stating no duties overlapped, and a third claiming the Beneficiary had experience 'in the position offered'—created unresolved discrepancies.…

Multiple conflicting letters from the Petitioner's vice president—one describing the same duties as the offered position, another stating no duties overlapped, and a third claiming the Beneficiary had experience 'in the position offered'—created unresolved discrepancies. Counsel's unsupported assertion of inadvertent error does not constitute evidence, and the organizational chart and missing percentage-of-time data further undermined the Petitioner's claims.
AAO raised this issue sua sponte. The record lacked required annual reports, tax returns, or audited financial statements for 2015 and 2016, and contained no information to assess the Petitioner's ability to pay combined proffered wages across 101 other petitions filed after the priority date.

continuing ability to pay proffered wage from priority date
AAO 为什么未被说服
Payments to the Beneficiary in 2016 ($66,510.57 through July 15) fell below the annual proffered wage range, and the CFO letter is insufficient given multiple other I-140 filings without information about combined proffered wages.

For 2015, the Petitioner's net income was $30,010 and net current assets were -$99, insufficient to cover the $75,608 shortfall. For 2016, net income was $47,057 and net current assets were -$3,623, insufficient to cover the $50,890 shortfall.

The Petitioner did not employ the Beneficiary in 2015, and in 2016 paid only $24,718 of the $75,608 proffered wage, falling short in both years. Paying at the hourly rate equivalent to the proffered wage does not satisfy the continuing requirement dating back to the November 7, 2015 priority date.

Bank statements reflect funds on a given date rather than a sustained ability to pay. The Petitioner failed to submit financial history supporting claimed success since 2005, showed declining rather than growing revenue, did not claim extraordinary losses or expenses, and submitted no evidence of industry reputation such as client letters.

AAO conducted a case-specific analysis and found that completing coursework in 1997 did not satisfy all substantive requirements for the Titulo, which also requires a thesis, social service period, and professional examination. The Pasante documents do not establish degree conferral, and AACRAO EDGE materials—including the source cited by the Petitioner's own evaluator—confirm that a Pasante should not be treated as equivalent to a Titulo or U.S. bachelor's degree.
AAO found the Director erred by failing to conduct a full Sonegawa analysis and by failing to address the totality of the Petitioner's circumstances and the other evidence submitted. The case was remanded for a new analysis considering 2016 evidence and the Sonegawa factors.
