I got a letter from Sandia National Laboratory for my I140 RFE (NIW CSC). It is a very good letter , except for the following paragraph.

"As a manager responsible for hiring decisions, I can attest to the difficulty in finding engineers and scientists with Dr. XXX's unique qualifications. I believe that the shortage of such qualified individuals in this country amounts to a national crisis. Furthermore, because Sandia is a national security laboratory, we normally require that our employees be US citizens. Therefore, I believe, it is in the best interest of this country to support Dr. XXX's petition for permanent residency."

My laywer thinks that the above paragraph states about labor shortage and is harmful. But I think that it says about the shortage of top scientists in this field, not the "labor shortage".

Could anybody share with me your opinion. Thank you very very much.
