AAO found that the Petitioner's 2016 W-2 wages to the Beneficiary fell short of the proffered wage, and required regulatory evidence for 2016 was not submitted on appeal. Additionally, the Petitioner had filed at least 22 other petitions whose combined proffered wages it must also demonstrate ability to pay. Under the Sonegawa totality analysis, the Petitioner's approximately four-year history, $740.6 million in accumulated losses, and obligation to pay multiple beneficiaries precluded a finding of ability to pay.
Beneficiary possesses minimum required experience per labor certification
AAO 为什么未被说服
The company letter did not describe the Beneficiary's experience or his work with the required technologies. The supervisor's letter was on personal stationery without proof of his former affiliation with the company, and no showing was made that a proper employer letter was unavailable, so it could not be accepted as secondary evidence.

AAO found that the Petitioner's judging history was limited, his citation record did not demonstrate sustained acclaim, his critical role within his company did not translate to top-of-field recognition, and letters about his contributions lacked independent attribution and impact evidence.

AAO found that letters from end users were of limited probative value because research contributions in the industry are attributed to the company rather than individuals, and the record did not establish how the Petitioner's contributions were directly attributable to him as opposed to other developers.

internationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence (20 C.F.R. § 656.15(d)(1)(i))
AAO 为什么未被说服
