sustained EB-1C Case: Forensic Science
Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition for failing to establish the ability to pay the proffered wage. The appeal was sustained because upon de novo review, the AAO found the petitioner did demonstrate the ability to pay, considering the totality of the circumstances including its reputation, longevity, success, and history of paying substantial wages to its U.S. staff.
