AAO declined to conduct a final merits determination because the petitioner failed to meet the threshold requirement of qualifying evidence under at least three evidentiary criteria.
The petitioner did not contest the director's finding for this criterion on appeal and offered no additional arguments, so the AAO considered the issue abandoned. Additionally, the criterion applies to the performing arts, not the software publishing industry.

After reviewing all evidence including submissions on appeal and in response to an AAO-issued RFE, the AAO concluded it was more likely than not that the beneficiary held a foreign equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree in chemistry and at least five years of progressive work experience, meeting the labor certification requirements as of the priority date.

published material about the alien in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO withdrew the director's finding because the television segments lacked required written documentation, many articles lacked identified authors, book reviews are about the alien's work rather than about the alien, and none of the publications were established as professional, major trade, or major media through objective independent evidence.

The AAO found that the reference letters contained vague, conclusory praise without specific examples of how the petitioner's work influenced or impacted the literary or television field at large, and the record lacked documentary evidence (e.g., citation impact, sales figures, independent critical recognition) demonstrating major significance.

nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO withdrew the director's finding because the petitioner failed to submit primary evidence of the award, the media coverage was limited and did not demonstrate national or international recognition, the award was voted on by only 499 online voters, and only a single award was presented (the plural 'prizes or awards' requires more than one).

final merits determination – sustained national or international acclaim at very top of field
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO found that the qualifying evidence under the judging criterion reflects limited participation inconsistent with someone at the very top of the field, and that the reference letters' praise, while noting accomplished referees, underscored how far the petitioner remains from the very top.

single foreign equivalent degree to U.S. baccalaureate
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO agreed that a three-year foreign bachelor's degree is not a foreign equivalent degree, and that combining multiple lesser credentials does not satisfy 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(2). Neither evaluation concluded the beneficiary's bachelor's alone equates to a U.S. bachelor's.
