AAO 为什么未被说服
Although net income exceeded $100,000 in 2006–2008 for the single beneficiary, the petitioner had filed hundreds of immigrant and non-immigrant petitions and therefore must demonstrate ability to pay proffered wages to all simultaneously pending beneficiaries.

Gross receipts are not a permissible basis for ability-to-pay determinations.
The Doctor of Divinity is an academic degree, not a prize or award for excellence. The church and organizational awards were institutional recognition from the presenting bodies, not nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards.

The reference letters were vague and conclusory, and the publisher's comments were self-serving. No documentary evidence showed the books attracted significant attention from independent religious scholars, were widely used in curricula, or otherwise had major significance. Speaking engagements at local church gatherings do not constitute original contributions of major significance.

The church advertisement was not independent media reportage and lacked circulation evidence. The book reviews were about the petitioner's books, not about the petitioner himself, and several lacked required dates and publication titles. No circulation evidence was provided showing any of the outlets qualify as major media.

Ability to pay via totality of circumstances (Sonegawa)
AAO 为什么未被说服
The petitioner was newly established in 2009 with no evidence of historical growth, sound business reputation, or other factors that supported the ability to pay in Sonegawa. Bank statements are not an enumerated form of evidence and cannot demonstrate sustainable ability to pay. The petitioner also terminated the beneficiary's employment.

Ability to pay via net income on federal tax returns
AAO 为什么未被说服
The 2009 Schedule C shows a net loss of -$54,699, which is insufficient to pay the proffered wage. No 2010 or 2011 tax returns were submitted, and failure to submit requested evidence that precludes a material line of inquiry is grounds for denial.

Ability to pay via wages actually paid to beneficiary
AAO 为什么未被说服
The beneficiary received $52,203.06 in 2009 and $49,280.04 in 2010, far below the proffered wage of $124,800, so wages paid do not constitute prima facie proof of ability to pay.
