Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the financial ability to pay the beneficiary and commence business operations in the U.S. The Director found the petitioner's available funds were less than its projected first-year costs, and the AAO noted that the financial evidence, including a business plan with errors and partially translated documents, was inconsistent and insufficient to meet the burden of proof.
