sustained EB-3 Case: Culinary
Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition because the petitioner's tax return showed a net income loss, suggesting an inability to pay the proffered wage. The AAO sustained the appeal by considering an alternative measure, the petitioner's net current assets, which were found to be sufficient to cover the required salary.
