The undated letter setting forth terms of payment did not adequately document actual salary and remuneration earned; the SimplyHired data acknowledged salaries 'can vary greatly' and did not provide information on high salaries for comparison; and counsel's assertion about earning 10-20 times local salaries does not constitute evidence. The Petitioner also failed to provide comparative salary data for his 2017 U.S. earnings.
