on balance beneficial to waive job offer requirement
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that a labor shortage alone does not tilt the balance in the Petitioner's favor, as labor certification is itself the appropriate mechanism for addressing labor shortages.

AAO found the Petitioner well positioned for his freelance database engineering work given his education, skills, and experience, but not for his online school proposal due to lack of investor interest, insufficient evidence of progress, and absence of potential client interest.

AAO agreed with the Director that the proposed endeavor lacks national importance.

AAO found that the Petitioner's evidence of job creation and economic impact was either unsubstantiated, methodologically flawed, or based on post-filing circumstances.

The newly claimed 2002-2008 employment was uncorroborated and inconsistent with prior submissions.
