The Petitioner's $120,000 salary fell substantially below the top 10% threshold for software developers per BLS data. The compensation survey was missing key pages, and even if complete, comparing a director of engineering to general software engineers was inappropriate.

The Petitioner's $120,000 salary fell substantially below the top 10% threshold for software developers per BLS data. The compensation survey was missing key pages, and even if complete, comparing a director of engineering to general software engineers was inappropriate. Stock options were common for early startup employees and post-filing compensation could not be considered. The Petitioner failed to provide payroll records and did not compare his compensation to others performing similar managerial services.
The articles submitted were about the Petitioner's employers and their services, not about the Petitioner himself. The Petitioner waived further argument by failing to challenge the Director's findings on appeal.

The unsubstantiated employer performance award lacked documentary support.

The reference letters described the Petitioner's useful work for employers and clients but did not explain how his contributions affected the broader field of software engineering. The plain language requires contributions of major significance in the field, not merely to employers and their customers.

Letters contained distinctly similar prepopulated language and lacked specifics on how the Petitioner's contributions had significant effect. Award claims were largely uncorroborated, and even corroborated awards did not show the Petitioner's influence on the field as a whole.
