The petitioner's net income was negative in 2007, 2008, and 2009; net current assets were insufficient in 2007 and 2008; related corporate assets could not be attributed to the petitioning entity; the unaudited financial statement was insufficient; and no evidence of a sound business reputation or uncharacteristic expenditure excused the deficiencies under Sonegawa.

The credential evaluation was unpersuasive because it did not compare curricula or use peer-reviewed materials. EDGE/AACRAO indicates the Brazilian 'bacharel' equates only to a U.S. bachelor's degree, not a master's degree or J.D. as required by the labor certification.

Pre-adjudication request to change visa classification
证据为何得到认可
The record contained copies of counsel's email and certified mail letter requesting the classification change, all submitted before the director's adjudication. USCIS policy required acceding to such pre-adjudication requests, so the director erred in denying based on the original EB-2 classification.

Net current assets in 2007 ($7,657) and 2009 (not provided) were insufficient to cover the gap between wages paid and the proffered wage. Although net current assets in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2008 exceeded the proffered wage, the petitioner's obligation to pay multiple beneficiaries under concurrent petitions meant it failed to establish ability to pay the combined proffered wages.

No wages were documented for 2004–2006, and wages paid in 2007–2009 were substantially below the proffered wage of $72,155.00, leaving annual deficiencies of $47,821.68, $35,655.02, and $27,321.68 respectively.

Net income exceeded the proffered wage only in 2004 ($127,350) and 2005 ($88,331), but fell short in 2006 ($53,428), 2007 (-$3,494), and 2008 ($24,469); 2009 returns were not provided. The AAO rejected the accrual-basis audited financial statements because the petitioner's tax returns were cash-basis, and the petitioner could not selectively shift revenues and expenses between methods.…

The AAO rejected the accrual-basis audited financial statements because the petitioner's tax returns were cash-basis, and the petitioner could not selectively shift revenues and expenses between methods. Moreover, even the years with adequate net income were undercut by multiple concurrent immigrant petitions requiring consideration of combined wage obligations.
Ability to pay via totality of circumstances (Sonegawa)
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO found no facts paralleling Sonegawa, noting the petitioner did not show the beneficiary was replacing a former employee or that any uncharacteristic business expenditures or losses occurred in the relevant years.
