Foreign degree equivalency to required U.S. master's degree
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO affirmed the Director's reliance on EDGE, finding the Beneficiary's licentiate is a five-year first degree equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree. The credential evaluation was given reduced weight because it did not explain its methodology for assigning U.S. semester credits. Taking six calendar years to complete a five-year program does not make it a six-year degree.…

lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards

AAO found that while the Beneficiary's salary exceeds median wages, the documentation did not adequately demonstrate it constitutes a 'high salary.' The Petitioner also failed to establish which occupational category provided an accurate comparison basis, and did not demonstrate that other remuneration (bonuses, stock options) constituted significantly high remuneration.

AAO found that the Beneficiary's citation history, recommendation letters, conference presentations, peer review activities, and grant participation did not sufficiently demonstrate that her work has widely impacted or been of major significance in the field. The recommendation letters described original contributions but did not establish their major significance. Citation evidence was also insufficient and not properly documented.
AAO explicitly declined to conduct a full final merits determination because the Petitioner failed to meet the initial evidentiary threshold, though it noted in the aggregate the record does not support the required level of expertise.

leading or critical role for organizations or establishments with distinguished reputation
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the Petitioner's one-hour weekly radio time slot did not differentiate him from other DJs at the station, and the record lacked evidence of significant impact such as increased ratings. The COO claim was unsupported by corporate documents, and those claimed accomplishments appeared unrelated to his claimed area of expertise as a DJ and music producer.…

original contributions of major significance in the field
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that talent and experience are not necessarily indicative of original artistic contributions of major significance. The reference letters discussed musical skills but did not provide specific examples of how the Petitioner's work significantly impacted the field or constituted original contributions of major significance, and there was no documentation of his influence on other DJs or changes to the genre.
