The Petitioner's work was confined to a geographic area and her materials did not substantiate that her endeavors resulted in benefits beyond her employers. Being a Schedule A occupation, nursing already has an expedited labor certification process, and the Petitioner did not explain how waiving even that process is nationally beneficial.

AAO agreed that the Beneficiary's licenciatura is only equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree per the EDGE database. Combining two licenciatura degrees from different institutions does not create a single foreign equivalent degree to a U.S. master's. None of the credential evaluations submitted adequately addressed EDGE's conclusions or cited peer-reviewed reference materials.

AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found this issue beyond the scope of the Director's decision. The adjunct professor experience letter conflicted with the labor certification's listed duties and the claimed 5 hours/week of work. The Portuguese Army letter lacked an address as required by regulation. Even accepting the university experience at face value, it would account for only 137 days of full-time equivalent experience.

AAO found that the reference letters were largely conclusory and prospective, that the low citation count (four total citations across four papers) was inconsistent with major significance, that the article-view count was insufficiently probative, and that the award designation was not corroborated by primary evidence or criteria details sufficient to show impact.

AAO explicitly declined to conduct a full final merits determination because the Petitioner did not meet the threshold step-one requirement of three criteria, but noted in dicta that the aggregate record does not support the required level of expertise.

AAO agreed that EDGE reliably establishes the Indian master's degree is comparable only to a U.S. bachelor's degree. The evaluations submitted were prepared for advocacy and are less reliable than EDGE. An unpublished prior AAO decision is not binding or persuasive.
