AAO found that the petitioner's unsupported assertions about limited major publications were not evidence, and even assuming scarcity of major publications, the petitioner had not shown the criteria do not 'readily apply' — only that they might be challenging to meet. The submitted materials simply did not rise to the required level.

original contributions of major significance in the field
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that while the petitioner's continuing education program constitutes a single original contribution of major significance, the criterion requires contributions in the plural and the petitioner's other activities (a symposium and an awareness campaign) did not rise to the level of major significance.

published material about the alien in professional or major trade publications or other major media

membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that the petitioner did not show that being a CEP constitutes a distinct membership class, and even if it did, the qualifications required (education and years of experience) do not constitute outstanding achievements as judged by recognized national or international experts.

membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements
AAO 为什么未被说服
The association was established for building relations between Nepali Christians and other religions for national development, not for filmmaking or film directing. Additionally, the organization's ordinary membership required only age and interest, and though special membership required 'extraordinary capacity,' there was no showing that those who judged the petitioner were recognized national or international experts.

The 2012 award was for work in advancing human rights, not for excellence in filmmaking or film directing. The award was also not shown to be nationally or internationally recognized. The festival semi-finalist selection was not an award or prize, and no independent evidence established the festival's awards were nationally or internationally recognized.

published material in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
The petitioner failed to show that the publications were professional or major trade publications or other major media; evidence of their status came only from the publications themselves, which has minimal evidentiary value. One article was about the petitioner's film rather than about the petitioner, and the petitioner failed to provide the date or author of the materials.…

The petitioner failed to show that the publications were professional or major trade publications or other major media; evidence of their status came only from the publications themselves, which has minimal evidentiary value. One article was about the petitioner's film rather than about the petitioner, and the petitioner failed to provide the date or author of the materials. The opera publication lacked information on the publisher and did not constitute published material about the petitioner.
The evidence showed only that the petitioner directed films, not that his work impacted the field of filmmaking and film directing as a whole. Simply performing one's occupational duties without demonstrating wider field-level influence is insufficient. Reference letters were vague and solicited, containing bare assertions of acclaim without specific examples of contributions rising to major significance.

AAO found citation rates, expert letters, journal rankings, peer review service, conference presentations, a patent application, and online media coverage did not establish that the petitioner's work has had major significance in the field. Expert letters spoke to potential rather than realized impact, and citing articles did not show heavy reliance on her findings.
