Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding that the Petitioner failed to establish its ability to pay the Beneficiary's proffered wage. Upon de novo review, the AAO considered the totality of the circumstances under Matter of Sonegawa and found that the Petitioner did establish its ability to pay. Consequently, the Director's decision was withdrawn and the appeal was sustained.
