The official words from USCIS are "An NIW Applicant is required to show that the benefit from his or her work will “significantly outweigh” the national interest of protecting American workers through the labor certification process."
How to understand the logic of "protecting American workers through the LC process"?
It seems what WorthIt said was that protecting American workers = labor shortage. What I think, though, is that
through the LC process, the petitioner still has to prove that s/he is competitive so as not to "rob" average American workers' jobs. However, the national interest of protecting American workers from this competitiveness is "outweighed" by the national interest of protecting American workers brought by the NIW.
The NIW process is to BYPASS THE LC PROCESS (i.e. AVOID COMPETING WITH AMERICAN WORKERS) WHEN LABOR IS NOT IN SHORTAGE. Is that right?
