Chief Executive Officer Of A Beverage Company

The Petitioner failed to meet the membership criterion as EMCOAN's constitution allows any content owner to join without proving outstanding achievements. The high remuneration criterion was not met because bank statements were inconsistent and did not distinguish salary from other income, and the salary surveys provided were contradictory. The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim or that he is among the small percentage at the top of his field.

The Director found only one criterion met (published material about himself and his work). The AAO concluded the Petitioner did not meet criteria for original contributions of major significance, performing in a leading or critical role for distinguished organizations, or commercial successes in the performing arts. Evidence did not show major significance of contributions, the company's distinguished reputation, or commercial success through sales volumes or box office receipts. The record did not demonstrate the Petitioner is among the small percentage at the very top of the field.

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to meet at least three EB-1A criteria. The membership criterion was unmet as no bylaws or governing principles were provided; the published material criterion was unmet because the articles were about the employer's projects; and the judging criterion lacked specific dates and competition titles. Additionally, the original contributions were deemed to have impact only on specific companies rather than the field as a whole.
