The recommendation letters focused on the petitioner's skills and potential future impact rather than already-recognized major contributions. Citation evidence showed only one moderately cited article and other minimally cited articles, insufficient to demonstrate major significance. Eligibility must be established as of the filing date, so potential future impact cannot suffice.

The wage comparison data submitted was not specific to geophysics; statistics for geoscientists broadly or physicists are not shown to be equivalent to geophysics earnings. The industry survey was incomplete and compared total compensation to base salary figures. Being at the 75th percentile among 'Geophysical – Advanced Seniors' was insufficient to establish a high salary relative to others in the field.

The reference letters show the beneficiary's work has value and benefits his employers, but do not establish contributions of major significance in the field as a whole.

The association's active membership requires only that one be actively engaged in practicing or teaching geophysics; it does not require outstanding achievements as judged by recognized national or international experts.
