dismissed EB-3 Case: Culinary
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a restaurant, failed to establish its continuing ability to pay the proffered wage from the priority date. The AAO affirmed the director's reliance on the petitioner's federal tax returns, which reflected a net income insufficient to cover the beneficiary's required salary, and rejected the petitioner's arguments to consider factors like depreciation or gross income.
