lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that the regulation requires evidence of the Beneficiary's own receipt of a qualifying award, and while the Beneficiary may have contributed to team victories, he was not named as a recipient of the awards. No award certificates were issued to the Beneficiary nor were there media reports listing him as a winner.

membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO disagreed with the Director's emphasis on the plural language in the regulation but agreed the criterion was not met. The Beneficiary's coaching role is a job position rather than an association membership, and the letter describing membership requirements was conclusory without detailing the specific requirements or providing objective documentation such as bylaws.

AAO did not reach a formal final merits determination because the step-1 threshold was not met, but noted in the alternative that the record in the aggregate does not support the required level of expertise.

leading or critical role for distinguished organizations
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the record inconsistent regarding the Beneficiary's actual role, noting that another individual was identified as coach in a news article and listed his own title covering training responsibilities. The Petitioner failed to provide an organizational hierarchy showing all coaches and the Beneficiary's place within it, and did not explain the Beneficiary's concrete impact on the organization's results.

original contributions of major significance in the field
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the athletes' awards could in principle serve as comparable evidence under the AFM guidance for Olympic medals, but none of the awards listed were Olympic medals. Additionally, a news article identified a different individual as the coach, and there were no letters from athletes confirming they were primarily under the Beneficiary's tutelage, so the Beneficiary's role in the athletes' victories was not established.

Notice of filing requirements (20 C.F.R. § 656.10(d))
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO agreed with the Director that the notice posted from September 4 to September 18, 2014 did not satisfy the 10 consecutive business days requirement within the 30-to-180-day window before the October 9, 2014 filing, and the Petitioner provided no evidence of in-house publication.

The letter referencing incorporation of his work into the organization's constitution lacked corroboration of the petitioner's claimed impact. Praise for his book shows respect within the field but not major significance or impact.

Whether internship duties matched the offered graphic designer position
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that the internship supervisor's description of the Beneficiary's duties—assembling design presentations and sending sample comments to vendors—did not demonstrate the hands-on design and concept-creation responsibilities required by the offered position. Additionally, AAO noted uncertainty as to whether the internship was a degree requirement, which would further disqualify it as qualifying experience.

AAO agreed that because the job descriptions for the Beneficiary's position with the Petitioner and the offered position are identical on the labor certification, the experience is substantially comparable and cannot be used to qualify the Beneficiary under 20 C.F.R. § 656.17.
