证据为何得到认可
AAO agreed with the Director that net income and net current assets in 2014 and 2015 did not individually cover the wage gap, but applying the Sonegawa totality-of-circumstances analysis, AAO found the Petitioner's gross receipts of $13–$20 million and overall business magnitude demonstrated ability to pay in those years. The Petitioner's ability to pay in 2016 was established by net income alone.
