Core Lesson

Local academic honors, chapter‑level society memberships, and teaching/coaching roles do not satisfy EB‑1A awards, membership, or judging criteria; petitioners must provide evidence of national/international recognition and outstanding achievement.

Evidence Issue

• No objective documentation or comparative evidence for high salary claim

• Awards not recognized as national/international or as evidence of outstanding achievement (Dean's List, local honor societies)

• Memberships were at local/chapter level and did not require outstanding achievement

• No evidence of final authority or formal judging of established financial professionals

• No original contributions of major significance beyond routine duties

• Lack of published scholarly articles in major media or peer‑reviewed venues

• Artistic display criterion misapplied to business presentations
