证据为何得到认可
Prorated proffered wage from the priority date to year-end was $31,126; documented wages paid to the beneficiary after the priority date were $31,791. The Arizona address on the paystubs explained the beneficiary's absence from California wage reports, so that absence was not a credibility-undermining inconsistency.

The three articles were published after the petition filing date and thus could not establish eligibility at filing. Even if considered, the petitioner relied solely on self-promotional evidence from the publications themselves and Wikipedia to establish major media status, which lacked independent corroboration.

The supporting letters and affidavits did not specifically identify any original coaching methods and described only general coaching skills.

The letters were largely conclusory and lacked specificity.

The club-of-the-year award went to the entity, not the petitioner, and the development coach of the year award went to a named individual, not the petitioner. Evidence regarding the petitioner's association with the students was also internally inconsistent.

Being one of over twenty athletes on a winning team was insufficient to establish a leading or critical role. As a coach, the petitioner did not show how many other coaches the team employed or that his duties were uniquely significant.…

Being one of over twenty athletes on a winning team was insufficient to establish a leading or critical role. As a coach, the petitioner did not show how many other coaches the team employed or that his duties were uniquely significant. Additionally, the regulation requires evidence of leading or critical roles for organizations in the plural, and the petitioner only addressed one organization.

AAO 为什么未被说服
The only submitted letter was unsigned and thus lacked evidentiary force. The letter also failed to identify specific proposals reviewed, their dates, or the authors' names. No documentary evidence corroborated the claimed judging activity.
