USCIS will not presume national or international recognition from the title of a competition. Even if competitions were nationally or internationally recognized, that recognition does not automatically transfer to the prizes awarded. National and international recognition results from awareness of the accolade in the eyes of the field, e.g., through media coverage, which the petitioner failed to provide.

AAO found that the beneficiary's combination of an IEI Associate Certificate, a postgraduate diploma, and a technical diploma does not constitute a single foreign equivalent degree to a U.S. bachelor's degree. The IEI is not an academic institution that confers actual degrees with official college or university records. EDGE confirmed the IEI certificate represents bachelor's-level knowledge but a formal degree from a college or university is required. The PGD was not established to be AICTE-approved or to require a three-year bachelor's degree for entry.
lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards
AAO 为什么未被说服
Evidence raised for the first time on motion after a NOID will not be considered. Regardless, the petitioner submitted only third-party letters rather than primary documentation of the prizes, and provided no evidence of the national or international recognition of the prizes.

occupation qualifies as a profession requiring baccalaureate degree
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO found the director erred in finding the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions. The intended occupation (SOC 11-9151) does not always require a baccalaureate degree — 10% of positions require only a high school diploma — and the record lacked sufficient evidence to show the specific position required a bachelor's degree at minimum.

Five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience in the specialty by priority date
AAO 为什么未被说服
Even assuming the Bangladeshi MBA satisfied the bachelor's degree requirement, it was awarded on January 19, 2006, making it impossible for the beneficiary to have accumulated five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience before the September 2, 2010 priority date.

Foreign equivalent degree to a U.S. baccalaureate in a required field
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO relied on EDGE (AACRAO) data showing that a three-year Indian Bachelor of Science is comparable to only two to three years of U.S. university study and that the Bangladeshi MBA is comparable only to a U.S. bachelor's degree in business—neither of which qualifies in the required fields. The submitted credential evaluations were inconsistent, relied on non-peer-reviewed materials, and in one case distorted source articles.…
