membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements

High salary or other significantly high remuneration for services, in relation to others in the field
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found the FLC wage data covered 2010–2011 while salary evidence was from 2008, creating a temporal mismatch. Additionally, the FLC data was limited to the Las Vegas area, making it impossible to assess salary nationally. Finally, evidence of above-average wages does not demonstrate a 'high' salary as required.

Further, none of the material focuses on the petitioner's work specifically—the articles are about productions, with only incidental mentions of the petitioner.

AAO found that being employed in a competitive position does not constitute receipt of an award; no evidence of selection criteria, number of applicants, or recognition as a prize was submitted; a major internationally recognized award must be global in scope and recognized as a top award in the field, comparable to a Nobel Prize.
