Consistency of beneficiary's claimed employment history
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that the part-time employment explanation was unpersuasive because both the labor certification and the Form G-325A expressly required the beneficiary to list all past employment, and counsel offered no adequate justification for omitting it.

Genuine principal place of business / physical worksite
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that the seller's permit only establishes authorization to conduct business, not that actual business was being conducted or that a physical office existed. The photographs showed multiple businesses sharing the same office suite with no identifying information for the petitioner, and counsel's assertions without new evidence were insufficient.

The petitioner's evidence showed only local or school-level impact. NYSDOT explicitly cited elementary schoolteachers as an example of professionals whose individual work does not produce benefits national in scope. General arguments about the importance of special education or teacher shortages address only the intrinsic merit prong, not national scope.

continuing ability to pay proffered wage from priority date
AAO 为什么未被说服
Without a valid successorship, the petitioner cannot use the labor certification employer's wage payments or assets, and its own tax returns and W-2s do not cover the gaps from the priority date forward.

Beneficiary's qualifying experience for offered position
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO found it correctly applied DOL regulations at 20 C.F.R. § 656.17(i)(3) to exclude the beneficiary's experience with the petitioning employer. Counsel's interpretation of 'substantially comparable' conflicted with BALCA precedent, and the petitioner failed to submit any evidence showing the beneficiary's current duties differed in time percentages from the offered position.

national interest to substantially greater degree than available U.S. worker
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found no documentary evidence demonstrating that the petitioner's work had influenced the field of special education as a whole or that she had achieved a record of demonstrable achievement with some degree of influence on the field at a national level. The petitioner's credentials did not exceed the average U.S. special educator, and the labor shortage issue was one for the Department of Labor, not a basis for a NIW.
