ability to pay proffered wage (including combined burden of multiple petitions)
证据为何得到认可
AAO credited the Beneficiary's 2015 wages of $86,554.67 and applied only the $22,445.33 shortfall for 2015. With 48 pending petitions and a combined proffered-wage shortfall of $174,772.84 across all beneficiaries, the Petitioner's net income of $724,157 and net current assets of $959,476 both exceeded that combined shortfall. In 2014, no other petitions were pending, so ability to pay was straightforwardly established.

on balance, beneficial to waive the job offer and labor certification requirements
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO finds the Petitioner has not shown an urgent national interest in her research, nor that her contributions would benefit the nation even if other qualified U.S. workers were available, nor that labor certification would be impractical to a degree warranting waiver.

AAO finds the Petitioner has not demonstrated a record of success or progress, generation of interest in her work, or contributions to fire safety/nanofluids/ferrofluids projects of sufficient significance. The technical reports list her as one of many team members rather than a substantial contributor; her publications were not shown to be frequently cited or to have affected engineering practices; and many publications/invitations post-date filing.
serves the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO reaffirms that the record did not demonstrate a past history of achievement with some degree of influence on the field as a whole. Petitioner's arguments that AAO improperly compared her to senior references and applied too strict a standard are rejected; AAO clarifies that its analysis turned on the references' speculative future-impact statements failing to show present influence.

AAO finds the Petitioner's proposed research as a fluid mechanics and heat transfer researcher has substantial merit and national importance based on its potential prospective impact on fire safety, biomedical imaging, drug delivery, and other applications, supported by reference letters and publications. However, her proposed teaching activities are merit-worthy but not nationally important because their impact is limited to her institution's students.
AAO raised this issue sua sponte. The record lacks required annual reports, federal tax returns, or audited financial statements for 2014 onward, making it impossible to establish ability to pay from the November 13, 2014 priority date.

Beneficiary meets educational requirements of labor certification
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO agrees the Beneficiary does not meet the labor certification's educational requirements. The three credential evaluations are inconsistent with each other, and none individually and conclusively equates the Beneficiary's actual bachelor's degree to a U.S. degree in mathematics education, general mathematics, or a related field.…

AAO agrees the Beneficiary does not meet the labor certification's educational requirements. The three credential evaluations are inconsistent with each other, and none individually and conclusively equates the Beneficiary's actual bachelor's degree to a U.S. degree in mathematics education, general mathematics, or a related field. Combining non-degree coursework is not permitted under the plain language of the labor certification.
labor certification requires minimum of bachelor's degree (or foreign equivalent) plus five years progressive experience
AAO 为什么未被说服
Because the labor certification allowed qualification with 'any combination of education equivalent to a Bachelors Degree,' the offered job did not require a full bachelor's degree and therefore could not support EB-2 advanced-degree classification.
