>if there are people qualified to do the job, and they are already here, you often will not be able to import the talent. <

In this case the burden of proof for lies with the employer who has to sustantiate the need for the job opening with relevant business topics, figures and effort to find local talent, which process I assume was completed if the case got to the this phase. Also, the employer had to define the domain of the skills required (in this case Foxpro programming). It's hard to believe that the immigration clerk evaluated Foxpro other than it was defined in the employer's statements. It appears that the employer (or their attorney) did not do their job :(. The case most probably would be re-evaluated on the appeal, if any.
