AAO 为什么未被说服
Although AAO conducted a de novo analysis the Director did not perform, it found the Petitioner's claim of impracticability was undercut by an expert's stated intention to hire him as a research scientist, and that neither the urgency claim nor the expert letters established that the national interest was so urgent as to warrant forgoing labor certification.
