Core Lesson

Petitioners must provide clear national/international evidence for awards, salary, membership, published material, and original contributions; institutional or local recognitions, vague salary claims, and subordinate job titles are insufficient.

Evidence Issue

• Awards did not demonstrate national or international acclaim

• No salary comparison to peers in the field

• Role was a subordinate Research Associate, not a leading or critical position

• Membership evidence failed to show that admission required outstanding achievement or expert evaluation

• Patent filings were not shown to be of major significance compared to other researchers

• Citations of the petitioner’s work were not primary subjects of the articles
