AAO found the final merits determination was not required because the Petitioner failed to meet the initial evidence threshold. The Director's contradictory statement was a harmless typographical error. AAO nonetheless reviewed the aggregate record and found it insufficient for the classification.

AAO found that the Petitioner's leadership of two local cultural organizations, press coverage limited to one newspaper's City section through 2008, a single judging instance, and recommendation letters do not collectively establish sustained national or international acclaim or place her among the small percentage at the very top of the field. AAO also found a critical gap in acclaim after 2008.

AAO agreed the first prong was not met, though it corrected the Director on a factual point—the area is economically distressed (not merely non-depressed). Nevertheless, the Petitioner failed to explain how creating only four jobs in a county of more than 18,000 residents would broadly impact the field or have significant positive economic effects.

lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards
AAO 为什么未被说服
The additional evidence reinforces that the award is given for contributions to the Catholic Church, not for excellence in the Petitioner's field of endeavor. The profiles of other winners show awards given for a variety of activities related to the Catholic Church, often for unexplained service.

published material about the petitioner in professional or major trade publications or major media
AAO 为什么未被说服
The East African Standard's publisher letter is self-promotional and insufficient to establish major media status. The Kenya Times went out of publication before the petition was filed. American Ideals' internet availability alone does not demonstrate it is a major medium. None of the publications were established as qualifying media.
