AAO found that Snapnames actually supports the denial: in professional and advanced degree cases, a single foreign degree or its equivalent is required, and USCIS properly applies the requirements as written. The beneficiary lacks a U.S. Master's or Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent.

The AAO found ample evidence that the beneficiary served as primary signatory and HR/operations director for over two years, participated in interviewing applicants for the offered position, and that his wife (also a manager) was similarly involved in recruitment — all indicating the beneficiary could influence hiring.

Beneficiary's alleged willful misrepresentation on labor certification
AAO 为什么未被说服
The ETA Form 9089 limited the beneficiary's signed declaration to Sections J and K (his qualifications), not to Question C.9 about familial relationships. Accordingly, the record did not establish that the beneficiary was responsible for or made any misrepresentation on that question.

Petitioner's alleged willful misrepresentation on labor certification
AAO 为什么未被说服
Although the petitioner conceded that in-law relationships existed at the time of filing, the record — including former counsel's affidavit explaining his narrow good-faith interpretation of 'familial' — did not establish that the petitioner acted with knowledge of falsity. The AAO withdrew the misrepresentation finding and reinstated the labor certification.
