Company Unwilling To Provide Financial Statement. Anybody Same Experience? Advice?

My company is a mid size company, about 60 people. When i filed for my I-140, the company refuse to provide financial documents because it is a private company and they don't share financial information with regular employee (only if you are a shareholder (profit sharing)/ board of directors). Furthermore, they have a lot of government related projects which they somewhat felt uncomfortable revealing all the information. Instead of providing a financial statement, the CEO wrote a letter of assurance stating the company revenue and number of employee. CEO even emphasize that company been around for 80+ years and do a lot of government projects and that they can afford to and will continue to pay me the prevailing wage for the duration of my employment. My lawyer submitted the letter of assurance and company brochure that talks about company history and types of projects company deal with for the past 80 yrs, and in addition to that, he also submitted my W2 for the past 3 years (which indicate i was paid the prevailing wage).

My questions are:
1. Has anyone ever ran into similar problems before? If so, can you please share your experience?

2. What are the chances that my I-140 will be approved since i did not provide financial statements? Will all those other documents sufficient as evidence that my company is able to pay me?

I will really appreciate any help/ feedback from any experts out there or anyone with soimilar experience. Thanks in advance.

my colleague and I had the same problem. my company's background is similar to yours. we are much smaller than your company. my colleague's I140 was filed before mine. she recd RFE. ouy folks were not willing to give papers to the attorney also so they sent the financial details in a sealed envelope to INS.
 
I had a similiar experience, but the CFO finally agreed to provide the financials after I esclated the matter though my manager.

Management needs to understand that without these documents there is a higher likelyhood for an RFE or outright denial. This should be explained by the laywer. Also, INS asks for the same financials which are shared with the IRS, so what's the difference?

You need to understand what is the real concern to resolve it successfully.
 
Send directly through their own lawyer

In such a case where company is uncomfortable in sharing the financial data with the employee of his lawyer, company can send the information directly to USCIS through their own legal team or attorney. I am sure a company of this size would have some attorney of their own so somehow convince the manager to send the response directly from the company.

In any case, USCIS is a govt. body like IRS so there should be no problem in sharing the data with USCIS.
