The AAO accepted that the petitioner's research goals and prior work have intrinsic merit, though it noted that working toward unrealized goals does not inherently qualify a petitioner for the NIW.
national interest substantially greater than U.S. worker
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO found that the petitioner's witness letters were all from the beneficiary's mentors and collaborators and could not establish the broader extent of his impact. The beneficiary's work appeared to be a basic component of his job duties, and no objective, independent evidence showed that it served the national interest rather than the narrower interest of the employer.…

The AAO found that the petitioner's witness letters were all from the beneficiary's mentors and collaborators and could not establish the broader extent of his impact. The beneficiary's work appeared to be a basic component of his job duties, and no objective, independent evidence showed that it served the national interest rather than the narrower interest of the employer. The petitioner failed to submit the citation evidence referred to by prior counsel, and repeated resubmission of the same materials could not cure the deficiency.
leading or critical role for organizations or establishments with distinguished reputations
AAO 为什么未被说服
The petitioner served on committees and coordinated a course but did not demonstrate a leading or critical role; his role was described as 'valued' rather than leading or critical and was limited to the economics department. The petitioner also failed to show that any of the institutions had a distinguished reputation.

authorship of scholarly articles in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
One article was published after the petition filing date and thus could not establish eligibility. The second item was a conference program and the petitioner failed to show it was published in a professional or major trade publication or other major media.

original contributions of major significance in the field
AAO 为什么未被说服
The petitioner's PowerPoint presentations and conference papers lacked evidence of wide impact such as independent citations. The textbook cover merely reflected a complimentary copy. Recommendation letters praised the petitioner generally but did not identify specific original contributions of major significance, and several referenced future or speculative impact rather than demonstrated past impact.

published material about the alien in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
Item 1 (a screenshot) was not primarily about the petitioner and was not shown to be major media. Item 2 (an article authored by the petitioner) was authored by the petitioner rather than being about the petitioner, and was also published after the petition filing date. A textbook cover submitted earlier also failed to constitute published material about the petitioner.…

A textbook cover submitted earlier also failed to constitute published material about the petitioner. Moreover, the regulation requires material in more than one major publication.
final merits determination — sustained national or international acclaim at the top of the field
AAO 为什么未被说服
Considering the totality of the evidence, the petitioner's accomplishments — limited judging experience, a single non-qualifying published article, general recommendation letters, and teaching at several colleges — do not rise to the level of sustained national or international acclaim or evidence that the petitioner is among the small percentage at the very top of the field.
