final merits determination – sustained national or international acclaim
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO found that while the Petitioner is highly regarded, has a successful career, and has worked on high-profile projects, the limited citation record, lack of field-wide recognition independent of his employer, modest media coverage, and testimonial evidence parroting statutory language all fail to establish sustained national or international acclaim at the level required for extraordinary ability classification.

AAO found the reference letters did not show implementation or industry adoption of Petitioner's models/algorithms; citation evidence had methodological problems (no self-citation accounting, non-contemporaneous data, post-filing data, reliance on a Scientometrics article addressing natural/life sciences not electrical engineering); peer review activity was occasional; and the I-Corps funding was not directly awarded to him.…

AAO found the reference letters did not show implementation or industry adoption of Petitioner's models/algorithms; citation evidence had methodological problems (no self-citation accounting, non-contemporaneous data, post-filing data, reliance on a Scientometrics article addressing natural/life sciences not electrical engineering); peer review activity was occasional; and the I-Corps funding was not directly awarded to him. Together, the evidence did not show a record of success or generation of interest sufficient to satisfy prong two.
AAO agreed with the Director that the evidence was insufficient to show the Petitioner is well positioned. Reference letters were limited to acquaintances at his university and did not show broader impact; only two citing articles were provided without comparative context; peer review participation was occasional and partly uncompleted; and AACE membership lacked evidence of distinction.

AAO found the Petitioner's work has substantial merit given the documented benefits of STEM education for underrepresented groups, but concluded it does not meet the national importance requirement because her instructional activities benefit only students in her program and she has not shown broader implications for the educational field or substantial positive economic effects at the national level.

AAO found the Petitioner did not demonstrate that the prospective impact of his competing and teaching would rise to national importance. He did not show his involvement as a competitor or instructor would impact the sport or U.S. cultural interests broadly, and did not demonstrate significant potential to employ U.S. workers or substantial positive economic effects.

Although the Petitioner stated his intention to provide valuable sales and marketing services, he failed to show that his work's prospective impact extends sufficiently beyond his employer and future clients to impact the field or U.S. economy at a national level. He also failed to demonstrate significant potential for U.S. job creation or substantial positive economic effects.
