Beneficiary's degree in required field per labor certification
AAO 为什么未被说服
The Beneficiary's diploma, transcripts, and certificate of course completion all reflect a degree in computer science, not computer information systems. The evaluations claiming the degree is equivalent to computer information systems were contradicted by prior evaluations the same Petitioner submitted in earlier proceedings.…

The Beneficiary's diploma, transcripts, and certificate of course completion all reflect a degree in computer science, not computer information systems. The evaluations claiming the degree is equivalent to computer information systems were contradicted by prior evaluations the same Petitioner submitted in earlier proceedings. Even if accepted, the record did not establish that computer science or computer information systems is a field related to business administration.
AAO found that publications and presentations alone are insufficient under criterion (v) absent evidence of major significance. The citation evidence showed modest citation counts, and the cited works used the Petitioner's findings only as background information rather than singling them out as particularly important.…

AAO found that publications and presentations alone are insufficient under criterion (v) absent evidence of major significance. The citation evidence showed modest citation counts, and the cited works used the Petitioner's findings only as background information rather than singling them out as particularly important. Expert letters were largely conclusory and lacked specific examples of how the Petitioner's work had influenced the field.
labor certification requires an advanced degree professional
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO rejected the Petitioner's implicit-bachelor's-degree argument, finding that the plain language at H.14 allows work experience to substitute for a master's degree without any underlying degree, and that H.8-A's 'Other' selection (rather than 'Bachelor's') confirms no bachelor's-degree minimum.

AAO accepted EDGE's view that an Indian PGD following a three-year bachelor's can equate to a U.S. bachelor's, but only if the institution was accredited or AICTE-approved. The Petitioner's evaluations made bare assertions about the institution's status without supporting documentation, so equivalency was not established.

five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO held that passing final examinations alone does not establish that all substantive degree requirements were met or that the university approved the diploma in April 2003. The retrospective letters were not issued in the normal course of university business and do not state that all requirements were completed in April 2003, so the post-baccalaureate clock could not start until 2010 or 2011.
