Evidence of commanding a salary or remuneration demonstrating exceptional ability
AAO 为什么未被说服
The salary comparison data does not cover the relevant tax return years, the employer letter claiming above-average pay lacks specificity on dates, positions, and amounts, and the income reflected in tax returns may not be attributable to exceptional ability. The record does not contain credible evidence that the Petitioner's income demonstrates exceptional ability.

Advanced degree or foreign equivalent qualification
AAO 为什么未被说服
The vocational certificates and letters do not demonstrate equivalency to a U.S. bachelor's or advanced degree; the regulations do not allow substitution of experience for a degree, and the evaluation used an inapplicable nonimmigrant standard. The record also fails to show the intended occupation requires a bachelor's degree for entry.

AAO found the Petitioner's occupation does not require a minimum bachelor's degree for entry, and the combination of her physical education license and graduate certificate cannot substitute for a single foreign equivalent bachelor's degree under 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(2).
