Labor certification job requirements demonstrate position requires an advanced degree professional
AAO 为什么未被说服
The plain language of the ETA Form 9089's Block 14 permits qualification through professional work experience equivalency, which would allow less than a master's or a bachelor's plus 5 years of progressive experience. The position therefore does not require an advanced degree professional under 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(4).

national interest substantially greater than available U.S. worker
AAO 为什么未被说服
The petitioner's witness letters were problematic due to near-identical language suggesting common authorship, and the record contained no corroboration from the organizations claimed to have adopted the petitioner's work. The petitioner's citation evidence consisted primarily of internal institutional materials rather than peer-reviewed citations demonstrating broader influence.…

The petitioner's citation evidence consisted primarily of internal institutional materials rather than peer-reviewed citations demonstrating broader influence. Counsel's unsupported assertions did not constitute evidence.
AAO declined to reach the final merits determination because the petitioner failed to satisfy the threshold requirement of presenting qualifying evidence under at least three criteria.

Beneficiary meets minimum education on labor certification
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO relied on AACRAO EDGE, which states that an Indian Master of Science 'represents attainment of a level of education comparable to a bachelor's degree in the United States.' Because the labor certification required a master's degree as a minimum and allowed no alternate combination of education and experience, the beneficiary did not meet the job requirements.…

bachelor's degree or foreign educational equivalent per ETA Form 9089
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO applied the plain language of the ETA Form 9089 and concluded the beneficiary's combined education and IEI certification do not satisfy the bachelor's-degree-or-foreign-equivalent requirement, treating this as a separate ground for denial.

beneficiary meets minimum education stated on the labor certification
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO agreed that the beneficiary's credentials do not meet the labor certification's plain-language requirement of a bachelor's or foreign equivalent degree, because the IEI certificate is not a degree from a college or university.

job offer requires advanced degree or exceptional ability equivalent
AAO 为什么未被说服
The ETA Form 9089 lists only a bachelor's degree as the minimum education requirement for the position, so the job offer does not satisfy the regulatory requirement at 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(4) that the job require an advanced-degree professional or its equivalent.…

The petitioner's argument that the beneficiary personally holds an advanced degree is unavailing because the regulation focuses on the job requirement, not the individual's credentials. USCIS cannot re-adjudicate the petition under a different classification at the petitioner's request.
