Tax exemption is not a relevant consideration; what matters is the salary commanded. The petitioner provided no comparative salary data for other scientists in the field, and a conclusory assertion that $44,000 is a high salary is insufficient without supporting documentary evidence.

Research fellowships and grants are principally designed to fund future research, not to honor or recognize excellence. Pre-doctoral and post-doctoral fellowships are not nationally or internationally recognized prizes because only recent graduates compete for them, not recognized experts. The Society of [REDACTED] grant was awarded to the principal investigator, not to the petitioner.

Publication alone is insufficient without evidence of major significance impact such as frequent citation. The reference letters largely speak to the potential future impact of the petitioner's work rather than established contributions of major significance. Conference poster presentations do not demonstrate impact upon dissemination in the field.

leading or critical role for distinguished organizations
AAO 为什么未被说服
Evidence of a 'lead' role post-dates the filing date, so eligibility at time of filing was not established. The laboratory itself was not shown to have a distinguished reputation independent of the larger institution. Evidence of future roles in other projects did not satisfy the criterion at time of filing, and other organizations lacked demonstrated distinguished reputations.

possession of advanced degree or foreign equivalent
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO relied on AACRAO EDGE data showing the Indian master's degree equals only a U.S. bachelor's degree, and found the credential evaluations inadequate and inconsistent. The petitioner's AILA meeting minutes and 'six-year rule' argument are not binding on USCIS. The Pennsylvania license was issued after the priority date and did not establish educational equivalency.…
