Petitioner's continuing ability to pay proffered wage from priority date
AAO 为什么未被说服
A corporation is a separate and distinct legal entity; wages paid by a related but distinct corporation cannot be attributed to the petitioner. The petitioner never submitted tax returns or audited financial statements despite a specific RFE request, and the totality of the circumstances under Sonegawa also failed to establish ability to pay.

Beneficiary meets minimum education requirements of labor certification
AAO 为什么未被说服
The credential evaluation concluded only that the beneficiary had the equivalent of a master's degree in a medical science and the 'professional' equivalent of a D.V.M., not a doctorate or foreign equivalent. A three-year bachelor's degree cannot substitute for a full baccalaureate, and no provision allows a lesser credential to satisfy the doctorate requirement on the labor certification.

membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements

The petitioner demonstrated only one qualifying association membership (USA Gymnastics) but provided no evidence it requires outstanding achievements or that admittance is judged by recognized experts.

published material about the alien in professional or major media

serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the witness letters contained unsupported and exaggerated claims, the petitioner submitted no citation evidence despite counsel calling citations the most objective indicator of impact, the petitioner's positions were temporary training assignments, and the labor certification regulations actually permit combination-of-duties positions. AAO also rejected reliance on physician shortage as a basis for waiver.

continuing ability to pay proffered wage from priority date
AAO 为什么未被说服
The petitioner's net income ($-24,708 in 2004; $-4,799 in 2005; $17,761 in 2006) and net current assets ($2,943; $595; $23,452 respectively) were all far below the $74,672 proffered wage.…

The petitioner's net income ($-24,708 in 2004; $-4,799 in 2005; $17,761 in 2006) and net current assets ($2,943; $595; $23,452 respectively) were all far below the $74,672 proffered wage. The AAO rejected combining the finances of the affiliated corporation pre-merger under the corporate veil doctrine, rejected unaudited financial statements as unreliable, rejected proration without specific monthly evidence, and found that wages paid to other employees were not available to demonstrate ability to pay the beneficiary. The totality-of-circumstances analysis under Sonegawa also did not support ability to pay, and the petitioner's 172 simultaneous petitions further undermined its showing.
