Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition, finding the evidence of the beneficiary's self-employment experience insufficient. The AAO sustained the appeal because the totality of the evidence, including government business registrations and letters from suppliers, met the preponderance of the evidence standard to prove the beneficiary's qualifying experience as a proprietor. The AAO also noted the Director mistakenly required proof of the exact duties of the job offered, when the labor certification allowed for alternate qualifying experience as a manager or proprietor.
