At least ten years of full-time experience (criterion B)
AAO 为什么未被说服
The Petitioner submitted letters from former employers but most lacked required job duty descriptions, and employment after the petition filing date could not be considered. One employer letter met requirements but was insufficient alone to establish ten years. The CPA letter was not from a 'former employer' as required by the regulation.

Recognition for achievements and significant contributions to the industry or field (criterion F)
AAO 为什么未被说服
The record contained recommendation letters and complementary emails praising the Petitioner's skills and success in specific projects, but none of the letters explained how his work contributed to the field more broadly beyond his immediate employers and customers. The Petitioner's on-appeal argument did not address the Director's conclusion on lack of broader contributions.
