Search a substantial collection of case-specific reasoning, then narrow it by petition, field, legal issue, or date.
This expanded collection favors source-backed access over perfect automated classification. Fields, labels, summaries, and relevance may contain errors; records marked ‘broader context’ need extra care. Review the cited source before relying on any record. These appeals and motions do not show approval odds or denial rates, and are not legal advice or a prediction.
10 years of full-time experience (8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(3)(ii)(B))
Why AAO was not persuaded
The employment letters were deficient: one post-dated the filing, another was undated, unsigned, and misgendered the Petitioner, a third lacked duty descriptions or full-time confirmation, and two letters established only work as an administrative assistant and logistics intern—not as a human development specialist.
Why this is useful
Use the reasoning to identify the specific factual or documentary gap AAO considered material.

Official academic record showing degree, diploma, certificate, or similar award (8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(3)(ii)(A))
Why AAO was not persuaded
The general secretary's letter from PUC is unsigned and carries little probative weight, and AAO could not verify accreditation from the referenced ordinances and decrees. The AACRAO EDGE database does not confirm the post-graduate lato sensu course is equivalent to a U.S. master's degree; at most the Petitioner holds the foreign equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree.

Recognition for achievements and significant contributions to the industry or field (8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(3)(ii)(F))
Why AAO was not persuaded
The Petitioner's professional accomplishments appear to have affected her clients or employers but do not substantiate field- or industry-level recognition.

Why the evidence was persuasive
AAO does not disturb the Director's finding that the leading or critical role criterion was met; the remand focuses on the other criteria where comparable evidence was not considered.
