The AAO found that articles citing the petitioner's work are primarily about the authors' own work or recent developments in the field and are not 'about the alien' as required by the regulation. Even the review articles only briefly reference the petitioner's work alongside numerous other researchers, and the regulation requires the material be about the alien relating to her work, not merely about her work.

Job offer requires a professional holding an advanced degree
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO applied the plain-language rule for labor certifications and found that USCIS cannot look beyond the stated terms of the ETA Form 9089. Because the addendum allowed one year of experience per missing year of college, the minimum requirements did not require a bachelor's or master's degree, so the petition cannot establish the job requires an advanced-degree professional.

Possession of advanced degree or foreign equivalent
AAO 为什么未被说服
A three-year foreign bachelor's degree is not the foreign equivalent of a U.S. baccalaureate degree under Matter of Shah and the governing regulations. The experience-for-education equivalency relied upon by the evaluator applies only to H-1B nonimmigrant petitions and cannot be used to satisfy the bachelor's degree floor required for EB-2 immigrant classification.…

A three-year foreign bachelor's degree is not the foreign equivalent of a U.S. baccalaureate degree under Matter of Shah and the governing regulations. The experience-for-education equivalency relied upon by the evaluator applies only to H-1B nonimmigrant petitions and cannot be used to satisfy the bachelor's degree floor required for EB-2 immigrant classification. EDGE confirms the degree represents only two to three years of U.S. university-level study.
advanced degree or foreign equivalent (or bachelor's plus 5 years progressive experience)
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO agreed the credentials do not equal a U.S. advanced degree, additionally noting the MCA was only 1.5 years (not the standard 3-year MCA in EDGE), and that the petitioner failed to document five years of qualifying post-baccalaureate experience by the priority date.

AAO held that a three-year Indian B.Com. is not a foreign equivalent of a U.S. four-year baccalaureate, and ICAI membership cannot supply that degree because ICAI is not a college or university. The first evaluator improperly applied the H-1B three-for-one experience-substitution rule, and the second evaluator's reliance on ICAI as a degree-granting institution was inconsistent with the record showing the Punjab University coursework.
The labor certification requires at minimum a bachelor's degree in computer science or IT. Because the beneficiary's three-year Indian B.S. degree does not constitute a foreign equivalent of a U.S. baccalaureate, he fails to meet even the alternative minimum educational requirement on the certified job offer.
