The reference letters praise the petitioner's teaching skills but fail to explain how her contributions are original or provide specific examples of major significance. Evidence of influence is limited to her school and municipality. Letters that merely repeat statutory language or offer conclusory assertions do not satisfy the burden of proof.

national interest served to substantially greater degree than U.S. worker
AAO 为什么未被说服
Counsel's arguments about pharmacists generally amounted to a request for a blanket waiver for all pharmacists, which USCIS will not create absent statutory authority. The petitioner's specific contributions during training were limited to data collection during a student rotation and did not demonstrate that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker.

The AAO found that while the petitioner held an M.Ed. at filing, that degree was in mathematics education, not pharmacy. Because pharmacy customarily requires a doctorate, and the petitioner earned his Pharm.D. only in May 2011 — more than eight months after filing — he did not qualify as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree at the time of filing.

national interest substantially greater than available U.S. worker
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO found that counsel's arguments about pharmacists applied generically to all pharmacists and effectively sought an unauthorized blanket waiver. The petitioner's research was conducted as a student, not as a practicing pharmacist, and no showing was made that individual contributions had national impact.

serves the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO finds the petitioner relies on general witness letters rather than first-hand documentary evidence of impact, that claims of citation rarity are unsupported, that participation in conferences and government-funded research is not itself a mark of distinction, and that worker-shortage arguments are arguments for obtaining rather than waiving labor certification.…

AAO finds the petitioner relies on general witness letters rather than first-hand documentary evidence of impact, that claims of citation rarity are unsupported, that participation in conferences and government-funded research is not itself a mark of distinction, and that worker-shortage arguments are arguments for obtaining rather than waiving labor certification. AAO also notes the petitioner's apparent departure from the role that originally underpinned the waiver claim and the absence of evidence of comparable subsequent influence.
The AAO found that the national scope of the pharmacy field as a whole does not establish that this individual petitioner's work has national scope. The petitioner's hospital-based contributions during training were limited to one institution and there was no evidence other institutions adopted his procedures.

serves national interest substantially greater than a U.S. worker
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO found that the petitioner's existing work had not significantly distinguished him from others in the same specialty. His book was published by what appeared to be a vanity press, letters from references only praised potential rather than demonstrating actual impact, citation evidence was absent, and claims about the significance of his work lacked credible evidentiary support.
