Core Lesson

Business rankings and company revenue cannot be used to satisfy the EB‑1A awards or commercial‑success criteria; published material must focus on the beneficiary and be properly translated.

Evidence Issue

• Company rankings do not constitute nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards

• Commercial success criterion applies to performing arts, not to business revenue

• Published material must be primarily about the beneficiary and include proper translations

• No clear evidence that petitioner’s work changed the field or had major significance

• Insufficient description of petitioner’s specific responsibilities and the reputation of the organizations
