authorship of scholarly articles in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that Science and Life covers a wide range of topics beyond the Petitioner's field of business and entrepreneurship, and therefore is not intended for learned persons in the Petitioner's field as required. The breadth of subject matter in the publication—spanning alcohol studies, PE teaching, library management, and more—precluded a finding that it qualifies as a professional publication in the Petitioner's field.

original contributions of major significance in the field
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the support letters showed the Petitioner's 'one-stop-shop' strategy benefited individual clients and businesses, but none demonstrated major significance in the field. The Petitioner failed to provide objective corroboration of financial and job-creation claims, and the business plan itself was merely another iteration of unsubstantiated claims.

High salary or remuneration relative to others in the field
AAO 为什么未被说服
Although the salary statistics showed the Petitioner's salary was higher than the average accountant's, the Petitioner's actual position was Regional Accounting Manager with significant management responsibilities, not purely an accountant. The comparative data for accountants therefore did not apply to the position she actually held.

The Petitioner did not demonstrate ABRACOPEL has a membership body comprised of individuals with a U.S. baccalaureate degree or equivalent. Additionally, the membership declaration was dated after the petition was filed, so it could not establish eligibility at the time of filing.

AAO had previously determined that the Petitioner's endeavor was substantially meritorious but did not establish national importance. The additional articles submitted did not change this conclusion, and a shortage of workers in an occupation does not render the endeavor nationally important under Dhanasar.

published material about the petitioner in professional or major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO agreed that articles lacking cited authors fail the plain-language requirement of 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(h)(3)(iii), which specifies evidence 'shall include the title, date, and author of the material.' AAO also rejected the argument that post-filing publication dates could be disregarded, as 8 C.F.R. § 103.2(b)(1) requires eligibility at the time of filing.
