published material about the alien in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服

original contributions of major significance in the field
AAO 为什么未被说服
The plain language of 'contributions of major significance in the field' requires impact beyond one's employer and clients regardless of the field. Support letters praised the petitioner as a student or intern, not as a practitioner whose contributions influenced the broader field. One article cited by a single subsequent article and included in databases does not constitute a contribution of major significance.

AAO found that the beneficiary's three-year Indian bachelor's degree is equivalent to only three years of U.S. university study; the diploma-issuing institution is not a college or university; and combining credentials individually below the U.S. bachelor's degree level does not yield a 'foreign equivalent degree.' EDGE/AACRAO data confirmed the degree deficiencies and the private INS correspondence was not binding.
