AAO agreed that the Beneficiary had only about six months of experience as a systems analyst and that experience as a computer programmer could not be substituted because Line H.10 of the labor certification expressly precluded experience in an alternate occupation. The Petitioner's J.21 response that the prior experience with the Petitioner was not substantially comparable also undermined any attempt to use that experience.

beneficiary qualifications per labor certification — advanced degree
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO affirmed that a degree from an unaccredited institution does not qualify as an advanced degree under 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(2) because accreditation ensures a basic level of quality. The school's accreditation was revoked before the Beneficiary completed his studies and before his degree was issued. SEVP approval is irrelevant to advanced degree classification.…

The labor certification permitted no alternate combination of education and experience.
possession of advanced degree or foreign equivalent
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO affirmed that only a single degree constituting the foreign equivalent of a U.S. baccalaureate satisfies the regulatory requirement; combinations of education and experience, or multiple lesser credentials, produce only an 'equivalent' rather than a 'foreign equivalent degree.' The Beneficiary's three-year Indian degree is equivalent only to three years of U.S.…

The Beneficiary's three-year Indian degree is equivalent only to three years of U.S. undergraduate study, and no evaluation found it to be the foreign equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree on its own.
60 months experience in job offered and H.14 skills
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO raised this ground sua sponte. Conflicts among the labor certification, a prior labor certification, the Beneficiary's resume, and experience letters made it impossible to confirm 60 months of qualifying experience. The letters also failed to demonstrate the specific H.14 technical skills required by the labor certification.

证据为何得到认可
The AAO found that the Petitioner's expert letters, citation records (139 citations with above-average rates), and journal documentation together demonstrate a past history of demonstrable achievement with some degree of influence on the field of synthetic organic chemistry, establishing that he will serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker.

serves the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that although the Petitioner is an experienced and effective teacher, the new evidence (an unpublished abstract, post-filing evaluator/adviser activities, a 2014-2015 evaluation, and a 2002-2003 magazine committee listing) did not demonstrate influence on the field as a whole or impact beyond the institutions where she taught. Post-filing achievements could not establish eligibility at the time of filing.
