In the aggregate, the petitioner's evidence—a company award, one professional association membership requiring only examination passage, ordinary auditing work, uncorroborated and partially plagiarized witness letters, and a single report with no demonstrated field impact—does not establish sustained national or international acclaim or placement at the very top of the accounting field.

The witness letters lacked specificity, were not corroborated by primary evidence, and several contained passages copied verbatim from internet sources, undermining their credibility.

Overall magnitude of business activities (Sonegawa factors)
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO considered Sonegawa factors sua sponte but found the petitioner showed no pattern of significant growth, no uncharacteristic expenditure explaining the losses, no outstanding business reputation, and no milestone achievements. The petitioner's many other I-140 filings further undermined the realism of the job offer.

The petitioner's net income was negative in 2003, 2005, and 2006, and positive only in 2004. Because the petitioner filed multiple simultaneous I-140 and I-129 petitions, USCIS also examined net current assets, which were negative in all relevant years.…

The petitioner's net income was negative in 2003, 2005, and 2006, and positive only in 2004. Because the petitioner filed multiple simultaneous I-140 and I-129 petitions, USCIS also examined net current assets, which were negative in all relevant years. Reviewed financial statements were rejected because the regulation requires audited statements, and the accrual-method argument was rejected as an improper hybrid accounting approach.
