Core Lesson

Self‑published online content, local awards, and vague claims of judging or original contributions do not satisfy EB‑1A criteria; petitioners must provide clear, nationally recognized evidence that directly demonstrates sustained acclaim.

Evidence Issue

• National or international recognition for awards

• Published material that is about the alien, not authored by the alien

• Comparative evidence showing petitioner’s salary is higher than peers

• Demonstrable original contributions of major significance

• Evidence that petitioner’s judging activities meet the regulatory standard

• Evidence of sustained national or international acclaim beyond isolated achievements
