serves national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the citation record thin (largely tied to one literature-review article), found the witness letters generalized and partially boilerplate, found that the Merci device usage claim was undermined by prior published reports by others, and concluded that learning advanced procedures and teaching them to peers does not equate to innovation.…

Beneficiary qualifications per labor certification requirements
AAO 为什么未被说服
The labor certification required a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, 60 months of experience as a structural engineer, and a Connecticut professional engineering license. The record contained multiple inconsistent employment dates across Forms 9089 (signed under penalty of perjury), Form G-325A, and employer letters, and the beneficiary failed to resolve these with independent objective evidence.

Under the correct substantial and probative evidence standard from Matter of Tawfik, the record supports a finding of marriage fraud. The petitioning spouse twice withdrew I-130 petitions with written statements that the beneficiary married her to remain in the U.S. legally, and the record contains numerous unresolved inconsistencies in the parties' statements about cohabitation.…
