Core Lesson

Meeting several EB‑1A criteria does not guarantee approval; the AAO requires convincing evidence for at least three criteria, and weak or missing documentation on key criteria such as membership, original contributions, and published media can lead to dismissal.

Evidence Issue

• insufficient proof of high salary

• lack of convincing evidence of membership in professional associations

• absence of clear original contributions of major significance

• published material did not mention the beneficiary beyond author listing
