The AAO found that while the Petitioner's work was displayed in reputable museums and received favorable reviews, the evidence did not establish that his contributions had significantly impacted or influenced pop art at the level of major significance. Letters from the curator and the analytical report were insufficiently specific to confirm major significance, and the book published about the Petitioner focused on art workshops for intellectually impaired individuals rather than on his pop art contributions.

The record lacked sufficient documentation to establish the Petitioner's salary as a jiu-jitsu instructor, as the tax returns did not link business income to instructor earnings and lacked W-2s. The salary comparison data used martial arts instructors as a benchmark, which was not demonstrated to be an accurate basis of comparison, and the data lacked geographic specificity; moreover, other record evidence showed jiu-jitsu coaches earn significantly more than general martial arts instructors.
