dismissed EB-3 Case: Music Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner's offered wage did not meet the required prevailing wage for the position. The petitioner incorrectly calculated the hourly wage based on a full year's hours (2,080), while the actual job was for a shorter school year (1,480 hours), resulting in an annual salary below the certified prevailing wage. The Director also determined that the petitioner failed to establish its continuing ability to pay the proffered wage.
