display of the alien's work at artistic exhibitions or showcases
AAO 为什么未被说服
Petitioner's 1980s skating performances relate to competitive ice dancing, not coaching. Supervising staff coaches does not constitute display of work at artistic exhibitions. This criterion is limited to visual arts, and the petitioner is not a visual artist; the interpretation has been upheld by federal courts.

lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards
AAO 为什么未被说服
Awards from the petitioner's competitive athletic career in the 1980s–90s do not establish recognition as a coach. Awards received by the petitioner's students do not constitute the petitioner's own receipt of awards. Recommendation letters lacked proper contact information and were unsupported by documentary evidence.

leading or critical role for organizations or establishments with a distinguished reputation
AAO 为什么未被说服
While the district manager letter was sufficient to show the petitioner held a leading role as head coach, there was no objective evidence that the organization had a distinguished reputation. Furthermore, the plain language of the regulation requires a leading or critical role for organizations in the plural, and the petitioner only demonstrated a role with one organization.

AAO found that most articles were about the shows or productions and not about the petitioner, and that the petitioner failed to submit independent documentary evidence establishing that the relevant publications constituted professional or major trade publications or major media.

AAO declined to consider this criterion on appeal because it was raised for the first time on appeal and was not previously claimed before the director. Notwithstanding, AAO found that even if considered, the evidence (an invitation and registration as a voter) did not demonstrate actual participation as a judge.

single foreign equivalent of U.S. baccalaureate degree
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the beneficiary's three-year Indian BSc is comparable to only 2-3 years of U.S. study per EDGE, and coursework that did not culminate in a degree cannot be combined to form a foreign equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's. The credentials evaluation was internally inconsistent because it cited a 'final diploma' as a factor while no master's diploma was issued.

The AAO raised this issue sua sponte. The petitioner paid the beneficiary only $57,804.61 against a proffered wage of $147,098, and while net income may have covered the gap for this one petition, the petitioner had filed over 1,000 I-140 petitions. Without documentation of the combined proffered wages and status of those other petitions, ability to pay was not established.

Beneficiary meets minimum experience requirement of the labor certification
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO found that the contemporaneous evidence only established approximately 10 months of qualifying experience. Key claimed periods could not be verified due to the beneficiary's absences from the U.S. and because the duties of software engineer and software developer positions did not match the managerial requirements of the offered senior programmer/analyst position under its O*NET classification.

misrepresentation on ETA Form 9089 Section C.9 (ownership interest/familial relationship)
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found no misrepresentation because the petitioner is a wholly owned subsidiary of a publicly traded company, there is no evidence of the beneficiary having an ownership interest or familial relationship with any owner or officer, and the beneficiary's position as a corporate officer does not constitute the type of interest or relationship C.9 requires to be disclosed.
