dismissed EB-3 Case: Fashion Design
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate a continuing ability to pay the proffered wage from the priority date. The petitioner's tax returns for the relevant years showed a net loss or minimal net income, which was insufficient to cover the proffered annual wage of $64,821.84. The AAO also rejected the petitioner's argument to add back depreciation to income for the purpose of calculating its ability to pay.
