Core Lesson

When the AAO reviews a petition, generic letters, self‑promotional articles, or unverified salary claims do not satisfy the plain‑language requirements for awards, major media, high salary, or judging criteria.

Evidence Issue

• Evidence that each award was nationally or internationally recognized

• Proof that published articles appeared in major media with national/international circulation

• Documentation of past commanded salary (high salary criterion)

• Concrete evidence of actual judging activity prior to filing
