sustained EB-3 Case: Restaurant
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, concluding that the petitioner, a restaurant, had not established its ability to pay the proffered wage. The AAO sustained the appeal, clarifying that because the petitioner is a sole proprietorship, the owner's total financial standing, including personal income and assets, must be considered, and reviewed additional evidence submitted on appeal to make its determination.
