membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements
AAO 为什么未被说服
Pi Sigma Alpha requires only academic course credits and grade-point thresholds, not outstanding achievements judged by national or international experts. The Order of Barristers National Honor Society is based on law student moot court participation, with nominations by a student poll and evaluation by faculty who are not shown to be nationally or internationally recognized experts.

authorship of scholarly articles in professional or major trade publications or other major media
AAO 为什么未被说服

AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO affirmed that the evaluations carry diminished weight and that EDGE shows a Pakistani master's degree is comparable only to a U.S. bachelor's degree, falling short of the labor certification's requirement. The 2019 degree was not considered because no primary evidence was submitted and accepting it would constitute a material change.
