leading or critical role for distinguished organizations or establishments
AAO 为什么未被说服
The Petitioner's evidence showed he performed supporting tasks as a contractor rather than work integral to his clients' own operations. His argument that any SAP Basis administrator is inherently critical does not establish that his specific work was of significant importance to the outcome of a given organization's activities.

Labor certification education requirement meets advanced degree standard
AAO 为什么未被说服
The H.14 language stating 'Bachelor's equivalency may be met by a combination of degrees' allows for a minimum education requirement that falls below a single U.S. baccalaureate or foreign equivalent degree. The regulation requires 'a' bachelor's degree (singular), and combinations of credentials cannot satisfy this requirement in the EB-2 advanced degree context.

The Petitioner showed that she operates a weight loss center but did not establish the major significance of her contributions. Copyright registration indicates originality but not major significance. Her company was one of several that tested equipment and she did not show participation in its design.

lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards
AAO 为什么未被说服
The 2006 award was from a municipal authority with no evidence of wider recognition. The conflict management citation was from an EU-funded organization, but that did not make it a nationally/internationally recognized prize from the EU. The 2007 certificate's printed text showed it documented participation in a five-hour training workshop, not a competition award.…

membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAPB membership letter did not clearly establish outstanding achievements as a condition of membership, and the AAAAE letter described the Petitioner's active participation in the organization's development rather than any outstanding-achievement requirement. The burden of proof lies with the Petitioner, not with USCIS to rebut.

AAO explicitly declined to conduct a formal final merits determination because the Petitioner failed to meet the step-1 threshold, though it noted in dicta the record did not support a finding of extraordinary ability.

AAO found that the Petitioner's new evidence was either post-filing and thus impermissible, or not genuinely new. Even if considered, the evidence showed that the Petitioner's services and the associated technology were available only to paying clients, not to the public or science at large, and therefore did not establish national importance. AAO also rejected the request to apply an NSF standard instead of Dhanasar.

AAO noted that the gene therapy project evidence pertains to prong two (well positioned to advance the proposed endeavor) rather than prong one (national importance), but did not reach a merits finding on prong two as the motion was not directed to that issue.
