AAO found the credential evaluations inadequate because they did not sufficiently explain the credit-hour conversion methodology, the Carnegie Unit does not reliably apply to Indian university degrees, and EDGE confirms the three-year degree equates to only three years of U.S. study. A three-year Indian degree is generally not a foreign equivalent of a U.S. baccalaureate under Matter of Shah.

national interest substantially greater than available U.S. worker
AAO 为什么未被说服
The petitioner did not establish that his past record of achievement justifies a waiver. His acknowledgment of no citations, his participation in a multi-site study he did not design, and his general clinical work did not distinguish him from other neonatologists. Board certification is not a basis for the waiver.

serves national interest substantially greater than U.S. worker
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that counsel's arguments were unsupported assertions, not evidence, and that the previously approved petition and labor certification undercut the claim that the labor certification process would harm the petitioner or lead to school closures. The petitioner did not establish a past record of achievement at a level justifying the waiver, nor did she show influence on the field as a whole.

national interest substantially greater than available U.S. worker
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO found that the petitioner's satisfactory/proficient performance reviews, local recognition, and unsupported claims of student achievement do not establish that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker.…

The AAO found that the petitioner's satisfactory/proficient performance reviews, local recognition, and unsupported claims of student achievement do not establish that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker. Being a highly qualified teacher under the NCLB Act does not establish eligibility for the waiver, and the NCLB Act did not create a blanket immigration waiver for teachers.
national interest substantially greater than U.S. worker
AAO 为什么未被说服
The petitioner failed to show a past record of achievement with demonstrable influence on the field as a whole. Evidence of a local labor shortage does not warrant the NIW because labor certification already addresses such shortages. Listing areas of endeavor affected by the petitioner's work only speaks to intrinsic merit. The record lacked details about the petitioner's specific contributions to most of the fields claimed.

Wages paid to beneficiary equal to or exceeding proffered wage
AAO 为什么未被说服
The W-2s for 2010 and 2011 show wages of only $33,176, far below the proffered wage of $52,894.40. No W-2 for 2012 or later was submitted, so no prima facie proof existed for the priority date year or beyond.

Overall business circumstances (Sonegawa analysis)
AAO 为什么未被说服
Although the petitioner is a long-standing dairy farm, its gross income declined approximately six percent from 2011 to 2012, net farm profit was reported as losses in both years, and net current assets were negative in both years. The record does not show analogous circumstances to those in Sonegawa justifying a favorable exercise of discretion.

Advanced degree qualification — certified English translation
AAO 为什么未被说服
The beneficiary's foreign educational credentials were submitted without certified English translations, violating 8 C.F.R. § 103.2(b)(3), and thus the advanced degree requirement was not established.
