Although the Beneficiary made original contributions that benefited his employer, the Petitioner failed to show those contributions extended beyond the employer to impact the field as a whole. Expert letters were conclusory and lacked specific examples of independent adoption of the Beneficiary's methods. The limited citation evidence was insufficient to demonstrate major significance.

The Petitioner submitted salary data largely limited to the Beneficiary's local area and failed to provide sufficient national comparisons. Evidence that the Beneficiary's salary exceeded the average salary of other research scientists was insufficient to show 'high salary' or 'significantly high remuneration' nationally, especially compared to more experienced senior and principal research scientists.

Discrepancy between petition filings and number of employees
证据为何得到认可
AAO found USCIS records did not support the Director's finding. After accounting for denials, revocations, rejections, extensions, and withdrawals, there was no material discrepancy between the 31 stated employees and the H-1B/I-140 petition filings, and W-2 records showed payments to most beneficiaries.

Continuing ability to pay proffered wage (including multiple pending petitions)
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the Petitioner's 2013 net income ($103,478) and net current assets ($233,537) were insufficient to cover the $377,546.74 shortfall between proffered wages and wages paid for just the eight identified beneficiaries. The Petitioner also failed to provide information about 21 other pending petitions, precluding full ability-to-pay analysis. Bank account funds were already included in the net current assets figure.…

Sonegawa factors did not help because the Petitioner showed no unusual losses and failed to provide full petition information.
Permanent, full-time nature of the offered position
AAO 为什么未被说服
Although AAO rejected the Director's requirement for worksite-specific contracts, AAO found the record lacked evidence of projects on which the Beneficiary could have worked from the priority date of January 25, 2013 until the September 2013 Wisconsin project began.…

Although AAO rejected the Director's requirement for worksite-specific contracts, AAO found the record lacked evidence of projects on which the Beneficiary could have worked from the priority date of January 25, 2013 until the September 2013 Wisconsin project began. General business activity and payroll records were insufficient to establish intent to employ the Beneficiary in the specific offered position from the priority date.
The Director concluded the Beneficiary met this criterion and the record supports this finding, as the Beneficiary published a number of scholarly papers.
