sustained EB-3 Case: Plumbing
Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, concluding the petitioner failed to demonstrate the ability to pay the proffered wage based on its net income and net current assets. The appeal was sustained because the AAO considered evidence of wages already paid to the beneficiary, which reduced the petitioner's remaining obligation. The AAO found that the petitioner's net income was sufficient to cover the difference between the wages actually paid and the full proffered wage.
