Criterion 3: 

Published material about the person in professional or major trade publications or other major media relating to the person's work in the field for which classification is sought. Such evidence must include the title, date, and author of the material, and any necessary translation.

First, USCIS determines whether the published material was related to the person and the person's specific work in the field for which classification is sought.

Examples of qualifying media may include, but are not limited to:

Professional or major print publications (newspaper articles, popular and academic journal articles, books, textbooks, or similar publications) regarding the person and the person’s work;

Professional or major online publications regarding the person and the person’s work; and

Transcripts of professional or major audio or video coverage of the person and the person’s work.

Considerations:

The published material should be about the person, relating to the person’s work in the field, not just about the person’s employer and the employer’s work or another organization and that organization’s work. Any materials the petitioner submits must demonstrate the value of the person’s work and contributions, and must not be solely focused on the employer or organization that the person is associated with. Marketing materials created for the purpose of selling the person's products or promoting the person’s services are not generally considered to be published material about the person (this includes seemingly objective content about the beneficiary in major print publications that the beneficiary or the beneficiary’s employer paid for).

However, the person and the person’s work need not be the only subject of the material; published material that covers a broader topic but includes a substantial discussion of the person’s work in the field and mentions the person in connection to the work may be considered material about the person relating to the person’s work.

Moreover, officers may consider material that focuses solely or primarily on work or research being undertaken by a team of which the person is a member, provided that the material mentions the person in connection with the work or other evidence in the record documents the person’s significant role in the work or research.

Evidence may include documentation such as print or online newspaper or magazine articles, popular or academic journal articles, books, textbooks, similar publications, or a transcript of professional or major audio or video coverage of the person and the person’s work.

Second, USCIS determines whether the publication qualifies as a professional publication, major trade publication, or major media publication.

In evaluating whether a submitted publication is a professional publication, major trade publication, or major media, relevant factors include the intended audience (for professional and major trade publications) and the relative circulation, readership, or viewership (for major trade publications and other major media).

标准 3：

在专业或主要行业出版物或其他主要媒体上发表的有关此人在申请定级领域工作的材料。这些证据必须包括材料的标题、日期、作者以及任何必要的翻译。

首先，美国公民与移民服务局（USCIS）要确定发表的材料是否与个人及其在申请定级的领域的具体工作有关。

合格媒体的例子包括但不限于：

有关个人及其工作的专业或主要印刷出版物（报纸文章、大众和学术期刊文章、书籍、教科书或类似出版物）；

有关此人及其工作的专业或主要在线出版物；以及

有关个人及其工作的专业或重要音频或视频报道的文字记录。

考虑因素：

公开发表的材料应是关于此人的，与此人在该领域的工作有关的，而不仅仅是关于此人的雇主和雇主的工作或其他组织和该组织的工作。申请人提交的任何材料都必须证明此人的工作和贡献的价值，而不能只侧重于此人的雇主或相关组织。为销售个人产品或推广个人服务而制作的营销材料一般不被视为有关个人的公开材料（这包括受益人或受益人的雇主付费购买的主要印刷出版物中有关受益人的看似客观的内容）。

但是，该人及其工作不一定是材料的唯一主题；如果发表的材料涉及更广泛的主题，但包括对该人在该领域工作的大量讨论，并在与工作有关的情况下提及该人，则可视为与该人工作有关的关于该人的材料。

此外，官员可以考虑只关注或主要关注该人所属团队正在进行的工作或研究的材料，条件是材料中提到该人与工作有关，或记录中的其他证据证明该人在工作或研究中的重要作用。

证据可包括印刷或在线报纸或杂志文章、通俗或学术期刊文章、书籍、教科书、类似出版物等文件，或有关此人及其工作的专业或主要音频或视频报道的副本。

其次，移民局确定出版物是否符合专业出版物、主要行业出版物或主要媒体出版物的条件。

在评估所提交的出版物是否为专业出版物、主要行业出版物或主要媒体时，相关因素包括目标受众（针对专业和主要行业出版物）以及相对发行量、读者群或收视率（针对主要行业出版物和其他主要媒体）。

Criterion 4: 

The person's participation, either individually or on a panel, as a judge of the work of others in the same or an allied field of specification for which classification is sought.

USCIS determines whether the person has acted as the judge of the work of others in the same or an allied field of specification.

Examples of judging the work of others may include, but are not limited to:

Peer reviewing for a scholarly journal, as evidenced by a request from the journal to the person to do the review, accompanied by proof that the review was actually completed;

Peer review of abstracts or papers submitted for presentation at scholarly conferences in the respective field;

Serving as a member of a Ph.D. dissertation committee that makes the final judgment as to whether a candidate’s body of work satisfies the requirements for a doctoral degree, as evidenced by departmental records; and

Peer reviewer for government research funding programs.

Considerations:

The petitioner must show that the person has not only been invited to judge the work of others, but also that the person actually participated in the judging of the work of others in the same or allied field of specialization. For example, a petitioner might document the person’s peer review work by submitting a copy of a request from a journal to the person to do the review, accompanied by evidence confirming that the person actually completed the review.

标准 4：

个人或小组参与评判他人在申请分类的同一或相关专业领域的工作。

美国公民与移民服务局（USCIS）确定该人是否在相同或相关的规范领域担任过他人作品的评委。

评判他人作品的例子包括但不限于：

为学术期刊进行同行评议，证明材料包括期刊向个人提出的评议要求，并附有实际完成评议的证明；

对提交给相关领域学术会议的摘要或论文进行同行评审；

担任博士论文委员会成员，根据系里的记录，对候选人的工作是否满足博士学位要求做出最终判断；以及

政府研究资助项目的同行评审员。

考虑因素：

申请人必须证明，此人不仅应邀对他人的工作进行评判，而且还实际参与了对同一或相关专业领域内他人工作的评判。例如，申请人可以提交一份期刊要求其进行评审的副本，并附有证实其确实完成了评审工作的证据，以此证明其进行了同行评审工作。

Criterion 5: 

The person's original scientific, scholarly, artistic, athletic, or business-related contributions of major significance in the field.

First, USCIS determines whether the person has made original contributions in the field.

Second, USCIS determines whether the original contributions are of major significance to the field.

Examples of relevant evidence include, but are not limited to:

Published materials about the significance of the person’s original work;

Testimonials, letters, and affidavits about the person’s original work;

Documentation that the person’s original work was cited at a level indicative of major significance in the field; and

Patents or licenses deriving from the person’s work or evidence of commercial use of the person’s work.

Considerations:

Analysis under this criterion focuses on whether the person’s original work constitutes major, significant contributions to the field.

Evidence that the person’s work was funded, patented, or published, while potentially demonstrating the work’s originality, will not necessarily establish, on its own, that the work is of major significance to the field.

For example, published research that has provoked widespread commentary on its importance from others working in the field, and documentation that it has been highly cited relative to others’ work in that field, may be probative of the significance of the person’s contributions to the field of endeavor.

Similarly, evidence that the person developed a patented technology that has attracted significant attention or commercialization may establish the significance of the person’s original contribution to the field. If a patent remains pending, USCIS generally requires additional supporting evidence to document the originality of the person’s contribution, such as detailed reference letters.

Detailed letters from experts in the field explaining the nature and significance of the person’s contribution may also provide valuable context for evaluating the claimed original contributions of major significance, particularly when the record includes documentation corroborating the claimed significance.

Submitted letters should specifically describe the person’s contribution and its significance to the field and should also set forth the basis of the writer’s knowledge and expertise.

标准 5：

此人在科学、学术、艺术、体育或与商业有关的领域做出了具有重大意义的原创性贡献。

首先，移民局确定申请人是否在该领域做出了原创性贡献

其次，移民局确定其原创性贡献是否对该领域具有重大意义。

相关证据的例子包括但不限于：

有关个人原创性工作重要性的出版材料；

有关个人原创作品的推荐信、信件和宣誓书；

证明个人原创作品被引用的程度表明其在该领域具有重大意义的文件；以及

源于个人作品的专利或许可证，或个人作品被用于商业用途的证据。

考虑因素：

本标准的分析重点是该人的原创作品是否对该领域做出了重大贡献。

个人作品获得资助、专利或发表的证据，虽然有可能证明作品的原创性，但其本身并不一定能证明该作品对该领域具有重大意义。

例如，已发表的研究成果引起了该领域其他研究人员对其重要性的广泛评论，并有文件证 明该研究成果与该领域其他研究成果相比引用率很高，这就可以证明该人对该领域所做贡 献的重要性。

同样，当事人开发的专利技术引起了广泛关注或商业化的证据，也可证明当事人在该领域的原创性贡献的重要性。如果专利仍在申请中，移民局通常要求提供额外的支持性证据，如详细的推荐信，以证明个人贡献的原创性。

该领域专家解释个人贡献的性质和意义的详细信件也可以为评估所声称的重大原创性贡献提供有价值的背景资料，特别是当记录中包含证实所声称的重要性的文件时。

提交的证明信应具体描述当事人的贡献及其对该领域的意义，还应阐明作者的知识和专业基础。
