influence on the field / substantially greater than U.S. worker
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that the reference letters and evidence did not show the petitioner's research had been widely implemented in clinical settings, had garnered significant independent citations, or had otherwise influenced the field as a whole. Uncorroborated and conclusory assertions were given limited weight, and conference presentations and peer review participation alone were insufficient.

AAO disagreed with the director's reasoning that work performed in Korea cannot satisfy the national-scope prong, noting the prong is prospective in nature. The petitioner's dissemination of research through international conferences and journals showed national and international scope.

national interest substantially greater than U.S. worker
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO found that online views do not confirm reliance on or impact from the Petitioner's research; the award lacked context regarding selectivity; conference presentations lacked evidence of citation or adoption; reference letters were uncorroborated and did not show that findings became part of treatment protocols; and peer review is routine.…

Taken together, the record did not show a history of demonstrable achievement with sufficient influence on the field as a whole.
AAO found the Director's treatment of the case was both factually and legally incorrect because the Petitioner had plainly sought classification as an alien of exceptional ability and the Director adjudicated a classification never requested, necessitating remand.

Ability to pay in 2014 based on audited financials including all I-140 beneficiaries
AAO 为什么未被说服
Although the 2014 audited financials showed figures sufficient for the instant Beneficiary alone, the Petitioner repeatedly failed to provide proffered and actual wage information for its numerous other Form I-140 beneficiaries despite being specifically requested to do so. Without that information, total wage obligations cannot be determined and ability to pay cannot be established.

Ability to pay under totality of circumstances (Sonegawa)
AAO 为什么未被说服
Even under a Sonegawa totality-of-circumstances analysis, the Petitioner failed to establish ability to pay because the record showed only two years of data (too short to demonstrate historic growth), no evidence of industry reputation, and no information about wage obligations to its many other I-140 beneficiaries.

The 2013 tax return showed net income and net current assets well below the $89,000 proffered wage. The CPA's argument that cash-method returns should be adjusted to reflect accrual-basis revenues was rejected because the regulation specifically identifies federal tax returns as acceptable evidence, and a petitioner may not selectively shift revenues or expenses to create a hybrid accounting approach.

The 2014 tax return was incomplete—missing Schedule K and Schedule L—so net income of $37,472 (below $89,000) was the only figure available, and there was no evidence of net current assets for 2014.
