Performances with orchestras are not necessarily original contributions of major significance, as performances are attributable to many musicians and the record lacked evidence of broad field-wide impact. Support letters either discuss the critical role of concertmaster generally (not original field contributions) or predict future impact rather than demonstrating present contributions of major significance.

final merits — widespread acclaim and international recognition; work requires exceptional ability
AAO 为什么未被说服
Even viewed in the aggregate, the evidence did not demonstrate widespread acclaim and international recognition. Additionally, the petitioner failed to show that the beneficiary's past or intended work requires exceptional ability rather than competent professional ability.

The AAO found that counsel's assertions about the Chinese coaching system were unsupported by independent record evidence, and that evidence of the petitioner's personal athletic achievements and his employer's coaching acclaim were not probative of the petitioner's own coaching ability. The limited judging record and overall evidence did not establish the petitioner as among the small percentage at the very top of his field.

The citation list submitted was of related-topic articles predating the petitioner's work, not articles citing her work. Expert letters were vague and conclusory without specific examples of impact. Patent evidence submitted for the first time on appeal was not considered because the director's RFE had specifically requested it. Conference letters lacked evidence of impact on the field.

The record lacked the petitioner's 2011 and 2012 federal income tax returns despite being requested. Without these required documents, net income and net current assets could not be determined for the relevant years.

Two versions of the beneficiary's 2012 Form 1099-MISC showed different amounts ($23,489 vs. $24,750) with no explanation, and the business checks submitted were incomplete, inconsistent with the employment certification letter, and showed sequencing anomalies. These unresolved discrepancies prevented a finding that the petitioner paid the beneficiary an amount equal to or greater than the proffered wage.
