dismissed EB-3 Case: Restaurant
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 net income in 2003 ($4,598) was insufficient to cover the beneficiary's proffered wage ($12,688). The AAO rejected the petitioner's argument to add back depreciation to the net income, citing legal precedent that net income as shown on tax returns is the proper measure.
