AAO reversed the director, finding that O*Net wage data for Coaches and Scouts was too broad and compared the beneficiary to a related but distinct occupation. AAO also found that a contract dated only 6 days before filing failed to show the beneficiary had already commanded the referenced remuneration, as eligibility must be established at the time of filing.

national interest served to substantially greater degree than U.S. worker
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO found that the petitioner failed to establish how the nation would benefit from his work to a substantially greater degree than from a qualified U.S. worker. The witness letters were uncorroborated, contained contradictions regarding citation practices, and counsel's unsupported assertions about the impracticability of labor certification did not constitute evidence.…

The AAO found that the petitioner failed to establish how the nation would benefit from his work to a substantially greater degree than from a qualified U.S. worker. The witness letters were uncorroborated, contained contradictions regarding citation practices, and counsel's unsupported assertions about the impracticability of labor certification did not constitute evidence. The national interest waiver is not a means to avoid the inconvenience of the labor certification process.
exceptional ability – at least three regulatory criteria met
AAO 为什么未被说服
Counsel consistently cited extraordinary ability criteria applicable to EB-1A and never correlated evidence to the exceptional ability regulatory requirements under 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(3)(ii), even after the director provided a second opportunity to do so. The claim was never coherently advanced.

national interest substantially greater than available U.S. worker
AAO 为什么未被说服
The petitioner's evidence shows competence and high-profile clients but fails to establish that granting a waiver would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker. Expert letters made conclusory assertions without explaining the reviewer's basis for their opinions. The employer's desire to retain the petitioner is irrelevant to the national interest analysis.

The petitioner submitted only a 1992 diploma from what appears to be a vocational institute, with no evidence of a bachelor's degree. Without a bachelor's degree, subsequent experience cannot constitute qualifying post-baccalaureate experience. The issue was also abandoned on appeal.

AAO held that a three-year bachelor's degree from India is not a foreign equivalent of a U.S. baccalaureate degree under Matter of Shah. The combined three-year bachelor's plus two-year master's equals only the equivalent of a U.S. baccalaureate degree. USCIS may give less weight to credential evaluations that conflict with EDGE data, and the academic evaluations were inconsistent with the EDGE report's findings.
