AAO found that while the evidence demonstrated the beneficiary is a successful, experienced professional valued by her employer and colleagues, it did not establish her influence on the field as a whole. Reference letters spoke to her value to employers rather than field-wide impact, RFE responses discussed the importance of the position rather than the beneficiary's individual contributions, and membership in professional organizations, blog posts, and speaking invitations did not demonstrate field-wide impact.
AAO found no evidence that the petitioner's impact extended beyond her own students; NYSDOT itself uses a single schoolteacher as the paradigmatic example of work that is not national in scope, and a local-scale contribution to a national effort does not suffice.

Advanced degree requirement for proffered position
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO agreed with the Director's core finding that a bachelor's degree plus no experience falls below the threshold for an 'advanced degree' under the regulation, noting that the Director's misidentification of the field (physical therapy vs. nursing) was immaterial to this conclusion.

Ability to pay the proffered wage from priority date through permanent residence
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO found that the petitioner's surplus in 2012 and 2013 fell far short of the proffered wage, no W-2s or 1099s showed wages paid to the beneficiary, and the petitioner did not provide audited financial statements needed to establish net current assets. The CPA letter did not state that the petitioner's balance sheets had been reviewed or audited. The totality of circumstances did not support ability to pay.

Beneficiary meets minimum educational requirements of the labor certification by the priority date
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO affirmed that accreditation is not retroactive, so the institution's 2011 accreditation does not cure the deficiency for the 2008 degree. AAO further found the Korean youth education master's degree does not satisfy the labor certification's requirement for divinity, theology, or a related field based on a curriculum comparison showing no theology or divinity coursework.

bona fide job offer / valid employment relationship
AAO 为什么未被说服
The named employer entity on the labor certification was independently incorporated in Maryland, held its own FEIN, and issued W-2s to the beneficiary. The petitioner's trade name registration post-dated both the labor certification and the I-140 petition. No independent, objective evidence resolved these inconsistencies.

Beneficiary was paid $28,033.90 in 2013 and $31,134.96 in 2014, both below the $44,700 proffered wage. The petitioner's 2013 tax return showed negative net income (-$72,585) and negative net current assets (-$306,019). Bank statements were not an acceptable form of evidence under 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(g)(2), and the petitioner failed to supply information about wages paid to beneficiaries of other concurrent I-140 petitions.

membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements
AAO 为什么未被说服
The online commentary confirming misspellings did not increase the reliability of the membership document. The Baidu Wikipedia information merely repeated the regulatory language without defining 'outstanding achievements,' and the submitted evidence did not show that association members' achievements are judged by recognized national or international experts.
