dismissed EB-3 Case: Architecture
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate its continuing ability to pay the proffered wage of $44,000 per year from the priority date. The petitioner's tax returns for 2002 and 2003 showed net income significantly lower than the required wage. The AAO concluded that the sum of the petitioner's net income and the wages already paid to the beneficiary was insufficient to meet the financial requirement.
