minimum experience requirement (60 months as bank officer/manager with financial management skills)
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that the experience letters fail to satisfy 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(l)(3)(ii)(A) because they lack descriptions of the Beneficiary's job duties, and one letter appeared to have been manually altered. Experience with the proffered employer cannot be used as qualifying experience because the Petitioner indicated it was the same position as the one offered.

minimum education requirement (bachelor's degree in accounting or banking)
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that the two credential evaluations are inconsistent with each other as to the field of the Beneficiary's degrees, that EDGE indicates a three-year Bachelor of Commerce from India equates to only three years of U.S. university study, and that it was not established that the PGD-issuing institution is AICTE-approved for business administration programs.…

AAO found that the two credential evaluations are inconsistent with each other as to the field of the Beneficiary's degrees, that EDGE indicates a three-year Bachelor of Commerce from India equates to only three years of U.S. university study, and that it was not established that the PGD-issuing institution is AICTE-approved for business administration programs. The record therefore does not demonstrate a foreign equivalent bachelor's degree in accounting or banking.
Permanent, full-time nature of the offered position
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the Director erred in requiring specific worksite addresses and beneficiary-specific contracts, but nonetheless affirmed denial because the Petitioner only submitted one client contract—insufficient to demonstrate ongoing development projects sufficient to continually employ the Beneficiary.

Ability to pay proffered wage including multiple concurrent petitions
AAO 为什么未被说服
The Petitioner's net income and net current assets each exceeded the individual proffered wage difference, but combined proffered wage obligations across all pending petitions (at least 24 beyond the instant one) exceeded both figures. The Petitioner also failed to provide requested information about all pending petitions, and the Sonegawa totality-of-circumstances analysis could not overcome these deficiencies.

AAO found no material discrepancy after reviewing USCIS records: 39 of 98 H-1B petitions were denied/revoked/rejected, and W-2 records showed payments to the vast majority of beneficiaries, demonstrating genuine intent to employ.

AAO noted in the alternative that even had Step 1 been met, the record in the aggregate does not support a finding that the Petitioner has established the level of expertise required, though AAO reserved a full final merits determination for any future proceeding.

original contributions of major significance in the field
AAO 为什么未被说服
The letters showed the Petitioner has a respected reputation but did not demonstrate contributions to the field of music composition as a whole. Simply producing original works is insufficient; the impact must extend beyond the Petitioner's circle of colleagues and collaborators. The Petitioner's role as an apprentice on an award-winning film did not establish his specific original contributions led to the honors.

lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the certificates and scholarships were not shown to be nationally or internationally recognized. The web pages supporting the awards were hosted on a free website builder (weebly.com), no information about the awarding organization's qualifications was provided, and no published material demonstrated broad recognition in the field. Academic scholarships also generally lack recognition beyond the granting institution.

authorship of scholarly articles in the field in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO agreed with the Director that a short film is not a scholarly article. The Petitioner failed to invoke or satisfy the comparable evidence provision at 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(h)(4) because he did not explain why the criterion is inapplicable to his occupation or why the film is comparable to a scholarly article.

published material about the alien in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that user-posted content on open-source databases like IMDb does not constitute published material, as it lacks editorial oversight and fact-checking. The post also lacked a required date. The post-filing article could not be considered because eligibility must be established at the time of filing, and in any event the Petitioner did not demonstrate the publication was major media.
