AAO found that the claimed dates and title of the Petitioner's leadership position changed between submissions without explanation, that other letters from team representatives did not corroborate the captain claim, and that no bylaws, rules of competition, or independent documentation confirmed his election as team captain for five consecutive years.

AAO found that the record lacked supporting evidence from any federal agencies to corroborate the claimed 'billions of dollars' in savings.

Her skills and experience are considerations under prong 2, not prong 1.

AAO held that a one-time achievement must be interpreted very narrowly consistent with legislative history, requiring global scope and international recognition beyond just the field. The IBJJF World Championship did not demonstrate broad, significant, and international press coverage, nor general public recognition comparable to a Nobel Prize or Olympic Medal; evidence was limited to jiu-jitsu-focused websites.
