AAO found the Director evaluated the petitioner under the wrong field (traditional Chinese medicine rather than education in the discipline), failed to evaluate whether the letters and articles show major contributions as an educator, and improperly applied the final-merits standard to an individual criterion. AAO also noted the director requested additional letters via RFE and then penalized the petitioner for submitting them.
AAO found the Director erroneously characterized the articles and the online sources, concluding that the materials are in fact about the petitioner and his work, are legible, include proper titles/dates/authors, and include certified translations. AAO independently concluded this criterion is satisfied.

AAO found the Director failed to adequately assess the tax statements (which are legitimately unsigned, being downloaded from a government platform) and that the salary analysis was misplaced due to the Director's erroneous categorization of the petitioner's field. Remanded for full evaluation.

The AAO found that the Petitioner only broadly claimed she would advance sensor network and machine learning research without specifying the type of research she intended to pursue. Reference letters discussed her past and current work but did not identify a specific prospective endeavor. Her teaching activities lacked evidence of broader national impact beyond her local students.

Final merits determination — sustained national or international acclaim
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO found that the new evidence did not overcome the deficiencies identified in the appellate dismissal. Letters from former executives were undermined by inaccurate factual claims; articles merely identified the petitioner as a source of information without evidencing acclaim; circulation figures addressed only the threshold criterion already granted; and the salary history did not shift the overall calculus.
