lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards
AAO 为什么未被说服
While the record supports that the Petitioner received a poster award at the 2015 EAACI Annual Congress, it lacks primary evidence identifying the specific award or the criteria for granting it. The Petitioner's description suggests the award was in a category limited to early-career professionals, and without objective evidence of the specific award and criteria, the criterion is not met.

original contributions of major significance in the field
AAO 为什么未被说服
While the Petitioner is a productive researcher whose work has been cited, she did not provide comparative citation evidence showing her citation rates are unusually high, the journal impact factor does not reflect individual article significance, the review article citations acknowledge 'new knowledge' but not major significance, and the expert letters lacked specificity about how her contributions have impacted the wider…

AAO found that the Petitioner described his proposed endeavor primarily in terms of past research without identifying specific new projects, that support letters lacked specific knowledge of the proposed future endeavor, and that industry reports addressed the field generally rather than the petitioner's specific proposed activities. The national importance of the specific proposed endeavor was not established.

The national importance of the specific proposed endeavor was not established.
AAO agreed the proposed endeavor lacked national importance, finding the Petitioner's general assertions about contributing to a linguistically competent workforce lacked sufficient probative detail and were uncorroborated. The letters and articles did not address the Petitioner's specific plans or their broader implications, and her prior award and publications were not shown to relate to her proposed U.S. research.

Foreign degree equivalent to U.S. bachelor's degree
AAO 为什么未被说服
The credential evaluation repeatedly concluded only 'three and one-half years of course work' toward a four-year bachelor's degree, not a full equivalent. The evaluator improperly relied on the 'three-for-one' rule, which applies only to H visa requirements under 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(h)(4)(iii)(D), not to immigrant employment petitions.

Five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience in the specialty
AAO 为什么未被说服
The Petitioner did not address AAO's finding that the letters fail to meet 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(g)(1) requirements. Only one letter was from a former employer, and it described training completed before the Petitioner obtained her degree in 2018, so it could not establish post-baccalaureate progressive experience.

AAO found that while the Petitioner met the substantial merit element, she did not show that the prospective impact of her endeavor rises to the level of national importance. The submitted articles address the general importance of nutrition and food consulting as a field, not the Petitioner's specific proposed endeavor, and unsubstantiated claims of economic benefit are insufficient.

AAO agrees the Petitioner does not qualify, but on broader grounds: she has not established the foreign equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree, and even if she had, a DPT is customarily required so she would need the foreign equivalent of a U.S. doctorate.
