sustained EB-3 Case: Painting
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO, upon a de novo review, found the petitioner demonstrated the ability to pay the proffered wage starting from the priority date. The director's denial was based on an analysis of the petitioner's financial records, particularly net income, which the petitioner argued was a narrow and inaccurate analysis. The AAO's re-evaluation of the financial evidence led to the conclusion that the petitioner met the requirement.
