AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO found the petitioner failed to establish past demonstrable achievements with influence on the field as a whole. Witness letters lacked corroboration, showed signs of common authorship undermining their weight, and offered speculation about future impact rather than evidence of past impact.…

The AAO found the petitioner failed to establish past demonstrable achievements with influence on the field as a whole. Witness letters lacked corroboration, showed signs of common authorship undermining their weight, and offered speculation about future impact rather than evidence of past impact. Nine citations of one article was an insufficient record, and claims that evidence would improve over the years could not satisfy the requirement to establish eligibility at time of filing.
The AAO did not contest that neuroscience research has substantial intrinsic merit; the analysis focused on the national scope and national interest prongs.

The sole proprietor's adjusted gross income was negative every year from 2001–2007, and W-2 wages paid to the beneficiary fell short of the proffered wage in all years. Business bank account statements are not among the enumerated types of evidence under 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(g)(2). The CD only covers 2006 onward. Unaudited financials are unreliable and do not cover 2001–2005. Real estate is not readily liquefiable.…

The totality of circumstances does not establish ability to pay.
The AAO found that publication in Nature/Science alone does not establish major significance; the petitioner's citation counts were moderate (highest 25 citations); recommendation letters speculated about future impact rather than demonstrating present major significance; and conference presentations did not establish impact beyond their immediate audiences.…

The AAO found that publication in Nature/Science alone does not establish major significance; the petitioner's citation counts were moderate (highest 25 citations); recommendation letters speculated about future impact rather than demonstrating present major significance; and conference presentations did not establish impact beyond their immediate audiences. The evidence showed the research was original but had not yet been shown to have impacted the field in a significant manner at the time of filing.
The AAO withdrew the director's finding because none of the submitted articles constituted published material 'about' the petitioner — they reported on the petitioner's research findings and credited the petitioner as an author, but did not feature the petitioner as the subject. The regulation requires the material to be about the alien, not merely about the alien's work.

Expert letters spoke largely of future promise and potential impact rather than existing major significance. The Cell Stem Cell article and its recognition postdated the filing date and could not establish eligibility as of that date. Citation data showed only moderate citations insufficient to demonstrate major significance.…

Citation data showed only moderate citations insufficient to demonstrate major significance. The letters failed to provide specific examples of how the petitioner's contributions had already significantly impacted the field.
