The Petitioner paid the Beneficiary only $54,568 of the $120,016 proffered wage in 2013 and submitted no 2014 wages. Net income ($68,327 in 2013; $54,774 in 2014) and net current assets ($0 in 2013; -$62,461 in 2014) were insufficient, and the Petitioner sponsored eight other beneficiaries with combined shortfalls of $134,471 (2013) and $205,067 (2014). No Sonegawa-type factors warranted a different conclusion.

possession of qualifying advanced degree or equivalent
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the Pakistani 'Master of Science' is equivalent to only a U.S. bachelor's degree per EDGE/AACRAO, and that the same degree cannot qualify as a U.S. credential because the issuing institution is unaccredited in the United States.
