foreign degree equivalency to U.S. advanced degree
AAO 为什么未被说服
Using AACRAO EDGE, AAO determined that the beneficiary's three-year Indian B.A. equates to three years of U.S. university study, and the Indian M.S. in Mathematics equates only to a U.S. bachelor's degree. The Advanced Diploma was not shown to be from an AICTE-accredited institution, so it could not establish bachelor's equivalency.…

Using AACRAO EDGE, AAO determined that the beneficiary's three-year Indian B.A. equates to three years of U.S. university study, and the Indian M.S. in Mathematics equates only to a U.S. bachelor's degree. The Advanced Diploma was not shown to be from an AICTE-accredited institution, so it could not establish bachelor's equivalency. The private credential evaluation was accorded less weight than EDGE as it was not corroborated.
AAO agreed with the director that the petitioner failed to demonstrate continuing ability to pay. While wages paid in 2004, 2007, and 2008 exceeded the proffered wage, in 2006 the petitioner's net income ($5,562) and net current assets ($14,987) were both insufficient to cover the $19,314.48 shortfall.…

The Yates Memorandum does not override the regulatory requirement of continuing ability to pay, and Sonegawa does not apply given the petitioner's declining rather than temporarily depressed financials.
five years progressive post-baccalaureate experience by priority date
AAO 为什么未被说服
The employer letter conflicts with dates on the ETA 750B, showing overlapping employment periods that were never reconciled by the petitioner. Even accepting the letter at face value, post-baccalaureate experience measured from December 1996 to the June 4, 2004 priority date amounts to only approximately three years and five months — substantially less than the required five years.

original contributions of major significance in the field
AAO 为什么未被说服
The recommendation letters praised the petitioner's talents but failed to demonstrate original contributions of major significance in the field as a whole; evidence of significance was limited to Israel or IISF; letters from references speculated about future contributions rather than establishing present impact; and vague letters repeating regulatory language without explaining concrete influence on the field are insuffici…

published material in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
The submitted materials were largely internet screenshots not shown to qualify as major media; the one print article (Mountain Living) was also not shown to be major media; most items lacked required author and/or date information; two items lacked certified translations; and the materials were not primarily about the petitioner but merely mentioned him as a participant in events.

AACRAO EDGE indicates that an Indian Master of Science degree is comparable to a U.S. bachelor's degree, not a U.S. master's degree. Therefore the beneficiary holds only the foreign equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree and must satisfy the bachelor's-plus-five-years route to qualify as an advanced degree professional.
