sustained EB-1C Case: Trade Promotion
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the petitioner established its ability to pay the proffered wage, noting that the foreign parent entity was financially viable and had paid the beneficiary's salary in the past. The AAO also determined that evidence of nine employees, a physical lease, and continuous trade promotion activities demonstrated the petitioner was actively 'doing business' in the U.S. and was not merely the presence of an agent.
