AAO found that while the letters confirmed the Petitioner's value to her employers, they did not detail how she influenced the field beyond her employers. The Petitioner offered no letters from independent brands corroborating her influence on their own designs, no news articles noting the broader influence of her work, and no evidence that she is recognized by independent experts as the primary designer of the shoe.

AAO agreed that the awards were not in the Petitioner's field (vocal music), were not received by the Petitioner, and the one potentially relevant award (for music in a film) was given to others who contributed far more significantly than the Petitioner's 'additional vocals' credit. AAO also rejected the Petitioner's broad reading of 'field' as encompassing all of 'arts.'

leading or critical role for distinguished organizations
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO agreed the criterion was not met, though it criticized the Director's articulation of the standard. AAO found the Petitioner failed to provide evidence or explanation of the impact of her involvement beyond being listed for 'vocals' or 'additional vocals,' and mere participation in a festival does not establish a leading or critical role.

AAO found the Petitioner did not demonstrate that the box office figures represented commercial success (no production/distribution/promotional cost context), and failed to connect the films' revenues to her own commercial success. She also did not provide specific record sales or commercial success data for her music career.
