Core Lesson

The AAO will not consider evidence introduced for the first time on appeal and will dismiss a petition that fails to clearly document a major internationally recognized award and other required criteria.

Evidence Issue

• specific details and documentation of a major internationally recognized award

• evidence showing the petitioner held a leading or critical role in the field

• proof of original contributions of major significance

• published material about the petitioner in professional or major trade publications

• salary evidence introduced on appeal (new evidence is not considered)
