AAO found the Portuguese-language magazine article lacked a full English translation, did not appear to be about the Petitioner, and lacked evidence the publication is major media.

The AAO found that the record showed invitations and requests but lacked evidence that the Petitioner actually evaluated the posters or papers.

The AAO found that while citations indicate interest from the field, the Petitioner did not sufficiently identify what contributions he made through his publications or explain their significance. Recommendation letters focused on his institutional contributions and unique skill set rather than demonstrating field-wide major significance, and merely describing prolific publication without explaining major influence is insufficient.

AAO declined to conduct a formal final merits determination because the Petitioner failed to satisfy the threshold requirement of meeting at least three criteria. In advisory dicta, AAO noted the record does not support a finding of sustained national or international acclaim.

AAO agreed that bank statements are not among the enumerated forms of evidence under 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(g)(2) and do not demonstrate sustainable ability to pay. The amended tax return showing $31,488 net income was insufficient because the Petitioner also had a pending I-140 for a second beneficiary, and no evidence of that second beneficiary's wages was in the record.…

The amended tax return showing $31,488 net income was insufficient because the Petitioner also had a pending I-140 for a second beneficiary, and no evidence of that second beneficiary's wages was in the record. The totality-of-circumstances analysis under Matter of Sonegawa also failed.
AAO withdrew the Director's finding, concluding that the record lacked documentary evidence showing the number of watches sold, revenue generated, or impact on the custom watch industry. Letters of support contained primarily conclusory attestations of talent rather than specific examples of contributions of major significance.

None of the submitted publications qualified as major trade publications or major media. The profiles lacked proper authorship attribution, and the evidence did not establish that any of the outlets had sufficient reach or prominence to qualify. The video evidence lacked required title, date, author, and broadcast attribution.
