Core Lesson

AAO dismisses EB‑1A petitions when award, salary, membership, or media‑coverage evidence is generic or lacks independent, comparative proof of national/international acclaim.

Evidence Issue

• No evidence that the LLM award had wide‑spread reach or fame in the legal field

• Insufficient comparative salary data to prove the petitioner earned a salary higher than peers

• No documentation that membership in AMPF conferred national or international acclaim or placed the petitioner at the top of the field

• Published news coverage did not demonstrate individual recognition beyond routine prosecutorial duties

• Lack of corroborating evidence showing the major significance of the petitioner’s original contributions
