national interest served to substantially greater degree than U.S. worker

advanced degree qualification under 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(2)
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO agrees the beneficiary does not qualify, but rests its analysis on the meaning of 'United States academic or professional degree' under 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(2), holding that a degree from an unaccredited institution lacks the nationwide recognition the regulation contemplates.
