membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO withdrew the Director's favorable finding, concluding that the Petitioner failed to provide the original Russian-language supporting document for her award certificate and did not submit the association's regulations to verify that membership requires outstanding achievements as judged by recognized experts.

AAO found the scholarship awards and certificate were more relevant to the awards criterion and that the reference letters were conclusory and uncorroborated. Although the Petitioner's research was published, the record lacked evidence that her methods have substantially impacted the sport or risen to the level of major significance.

AAO agreed that the H.14 language permitting a foreign degree equivalent through 'any suitable combination of degree' allows combinations of lesser degrees, which falls short of the single advanced degree required by the regulations. Recruitment materials did not specify the nature of the equivalency and therefore did not demonstrate the job required a single master's or its foreign equivalent.

Starting from a qualifying degree in mid-2005, the Beneficiary could not accumulate 60 months of experience by the September 2009 priority date, especially excluding experience in the offered position itself.
AAO agreed that the labor certification's alternate requirements fail to require an advanced degree. The use of 'Other' education level combined with the phrase 'as equiv to deg reqt' allows candidates to qualify without a degree, going beyond standard Kellogg language. Without advertising evidence to clarify the requirements, AAO read the certification as drafted.
