Healthcare company petitioned for registered nurse as EB-3 skilled worker. AAO remanded because the record lacked regulatorily required audited financial statements evidencing ability to pay the proffered wage in the petition priority year 2024, and to clarify which entity would employ the beneficiary.

An advertising firm sought to employ a strategist under the EB-2 advanced degree category, not a national interest waiver. The job did not require an advanced degree. The firm asked on appeal to recategorize the petition as a professional filing, but the AAO declined because the request came too late, and also noted missing ability-to-pay evidence.

A software company sponsored a computer programmer for EB-2 advanced degree classification, not a national interest waiver. After approval, the service center revoked the petition over intent to employ and experience. The AAO withdrew those findings, noted other possible revocation grounds, including ability to pay, and remanded for a new decision.

A nonprofit foundation sought EB-2 classification for a safety and health specialist based on advanced degree. The AAO affirmed denial because the foundation failed to demonstrate ability to pay the proffered wage from tax returns, and a co-executive director's personal commitment to fund the position was insufficient.
