All Cases

The Petitioner failed to meet the awards criterion because the claimed award was internal to his employer and lacked national or international recognition. The scholarly articles criterion was not met as the publications (e.g., DC Velocity, Logistics Management) were not proven to be major media or professional trade publications with significant circulation. The high salary claim was rejected because the Petitioner's salary of $182,000 fell below the 67th percentile for his occupation in New Jersey, and his original contributions were found to be significant only to his employer rather than the field as a whole.
