The beneficiary was paid only $62,733.46 in 2013 and approximately $67,964 annualized in 2014, far below the $156,998 proffered wage. The petitioner's 2013 net income of $43,251 and net current assets of $216,636 were insufficient when accounting for obligations to multiple beneficiaries, and the petitioner failed to provide information about the second beneficiary. AAO rejected combining net income and net current assets as impermissible double-counting. The totality of circumstances, including a dramatic revenue decline, did not support ability to pay.

The petitioner submitted general evidence about the importance of translation services and technology (NVTC website, DoD slides, job postings) but failed to provide specific information about his proposed linguistic mobile applications — what functions they would offer, which languages they would translate, or how they would improve on existing applications.…

The petitioner submitted general evidence about the importance of translation services and technology (NVTC website, DoD slides, job postings) but failed to provide specific information about his proposed linguistic mobile applications — what functions they would offer, which languages they would translate, or how they would improve on existing applications. Without such evidence, AAO could not determine that the benefits would be national in scope.
Both the director and AAO found that the petitioner's proposed area of employment — developing linguistic mobile applications — has substantial intrinsic merit.

The petitioner, as a makeup artist and stylist, is not in the performing arts and did not submit evidence of box office receipts or record/video sales as required by the criterion.
