AAO withdrew the Director's translation objection but still found the criterion unmet: only five of eleven cited articles pre-dated the filing, several lacked required author attribution, and the record did not sufficiently establish that Varzesh3, Gul, and Razmavar are professional or major media outlets.

While AAO noted the Director incorrectly required current membership, AAO agreed the criterion was not met because the Petitioner did not show that membership on the national team requires outstanding achievements judged by recognized national or international experts, and counsel's assertions are not evidence.

five years of qualifying experience per labor certification and advanced degree professional requirement
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the unresolved discrepancies raised doubt about whether the Beneficiary worked at the first employer at all. Even accepting the Beneficiary's own claim of employment through March 2006, that is less than five years. No evidence was submitted for the second employer despite multiple opportunities.

ability to pay proffered wage from priority date onward
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the Petitioner was mistaken about the period covered by its 2013 tax return (it runs July 1, 2013–June 30, 2014, not July 2012–June 2013), leaving a coverage gap from the priority date to July 1, 2013. In addition, the complete failure to provide information about other I-140 beneficiaries' proffered wages meant the Petitioner could not establish its aggregate ability to pay.

AAO found the reference letters did not show how the Petitioner's work generated interest among relevant parties, was implemented in NICU practice, or reflected a record of success. Five citations to one article, without comparative context, and review of two manuscripts were insufficient to show he is well positioned to advance the endeavor.

AAO found that the Petitioner's NCBI representative genome designation, citation statistics, and recommendation letters demonstrated originality but not major significance. The NCBI designation alone did not establish major significance, citation rates are more relevant to final merits than to this criterion, and the recommendation letters were largely conclusory without explaining how the contributions have already impacte…

The relevant question is the specific endeavor the foreign national proposes to undertake, not the importance of the field generally.…

While the articles demonstrate the substantial merit of computer programming generally, they do not establish the national importance of the Petitioner's specific proposed endeavor. The relevant question is the specific endeavor the foreign national proposes to undertake, not the importance of the field generally. A projected shortage of computer programmers alone does not render the work of an individual computer programmer nationally important.
on balance, beneficial to the United States to waive job offer and labor certification
AAO 为什么未被说服
Because the Petitioner failed to sufficiently define his proposed endeavor, AAO could not determine that waiving the job offer and labor certification requirement would benefit the United States. Additionally, a labor shortage alone does not demonstrate that waiving the labor certification would benefit the U.S., as the Department of Labor addresses such shortages through the labor certification process.

The record lacked supporting documentation to corroborate the Petitioner's assertions about future research activities, specific research projects, or interest from named employers. The Petitioner's proposed endeavors were too vague to assess whether he was well positioned to advance them.
