Criterion 9: 

The person has commanded a high salary, or other significantly high remuneration for services, in relation to others in the field.

USCIS determines whether the person's salary or remuneration is high relative to the compensation paid to others working in the field. USCIS does not interpret the phrase “has commanded” to mean that the person must have already earned such salary or remuneration in order to meet the criterion. Rather, a credible contract or job offer showing prospective salary or remuneration may establish that the person has been able to command such compensation.

Evidence relevant to demonstrating high remuneration may include, but is not limited to:

Tax returns, pay statements, or other evidence of past salary or remuneration for services;

Contract, job offer letter, or other evidence of prospective salary or remuneration for services; and

Comparative wage or remuneration data for the person’s field, such as geographical or position-appropriate compensation surveys.

Considerations:

Evidence regarding whether the person's compensation is high relative to that of others working in the field may take many forms. Examples may include, but are not limited to, geographical or position-appropriate compensation surveys and organizational justifications to pay above the compensation data. The following websites, among others, may be helpful in evaluating the relative compensation for a given field:

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Overview of BLS Wage Data by Area and Occupation webpage; and

The Department of Labor's Career One Stop website.

When evaluating whether a comparison between the beneficiary’s documented remuneration and the remuneration in the survey is accurate, the following considerations, among others, may be relevant:

The description of the occupation. Broad descriptions that include multiple occupations or multiple industries may not provide an accurate comparison to others in the field. For example, “directors and producers” might be listed as a single category across industries, but evidence that a film director receives high remuneration based on a broad range of occupational data that include disparate occupations such as film director and radio show producer, may not be sufficiently probative;

The validity of the survey. Some websites provide user-reported salary data, which may not be a valid comparison if, for example, too few users reported their salaries or the data is otherwise not credible or reliable;

Location and currency. Officers evaluate persons working outside of the United States based on the wage statistics or comparable evidence relevant to the applicable work location, rather than by simply converting the salary to U.S. dollars and then viewing whether that salary would be considered high in the United States; and

Salary rate being measured. Officers consider whether the comparison data measures an hourly rate or an annual salary. Another consideration is how that information compares to the beneficiary’s pay. Many artists are not paid an hourly rate but instead are paid a daily rate (which may not be equivalent to 8 hours) or are paid a certain amount for a project (involving an unknown number or hours). However, hourly wage data may still be probative if the petitioner submits documentation regarding the number of hours worked. Such documentation can include, but is not limited to, pay statements, personnel records, or testimonial evidence from the relevant employer.

For entrepreneurs or founders of startup businesses, officers consider evidence that the business has received significant funding from government entities, venture capital funds, angel investors, or other such funders in evaluating the credibility of submitted contracts, job offer letters, or other evidence of prospective salary or remuneration for services.

标准 9：

与该领域的其他人相比，此人获得高薪或其他明显较高的服务报酬。

美国公民与移民服务局（USCIS）确定此人的工资或报酬相对于该领域其他人的报酬是否高。移民局对 "已拥有 "这一短语的解释并不意味着该人必须已经赚取了这样的工资或报酬才符合标准。相反，一份可信的合同或工作邀请函显示的预期工资或报酬可以证明此人已经能够获得此类报酬。

证明高报酬的相关证据可包括但不限于以下内容：

纳税申报单、工资单或其他过去工资或服务报酬的证据；

合同、聘书或其他证明未来工资或服务报酬的证据；以及

个人所在领域的工资或薪酬比较数据，如地域或职位适当的薪酬调查。

考虑因素：

有关此人的报酬相对于该领域其他工作人员的报酬是否偏高的证据可以有多种形式。例如，可包括但不限于地理或职位适当的薪酬调查，以及支付高于薪酬数据的组织理由。

在评估受益人记录的薪酬与调查中的薪酬之间的比较是否准确时，除其他因素外，以下考虑因素可能与之相关：

职业描述。包括多种职业或多个行业的宽泛描述可能无法提供与该领域其他职业的准确比较。例如，"导演和制片人 "可能被列为跨行业的单一类别，但根据包括电影导演和广播节目制片人等不同职业的广泛职业数据，电影导演获得高薪酬的证据可能不具有充分的证明力；

调查的有效性。有些网站提供用户报告的薪酬数据，但如果报告其薪酬的用户太少或数据不可信或不可靠，这些数据就不能作为有效的比较；

地点和货币。官员在评估在美国境外工作的人员时，应依据工资统计数据或与适用工作地点相关的可比证据，而不是简单地将工资换算成美元，然后查看该工资在美国是否被视为高薪；以及

衡量的薪资水平。官员要考虑比较数据衡量的是时薪还是年薪。另一个考虑因素是该信息如何与受益人的薪酬进行比较。许多艺术家的工资不是按小时支付的，而是按日支付的（可能不等于 8 小时），或者是按一个项目支付一定数额的工资（涉及的小时数或时数不详）。然而，如果申请人提交了有关工作小时数的文件，小时工资数据仍可作为证据。此类文件可包括但不限于工资单、人事记录或相关雇主提供的证词。

对于创业者或初创企业的创始人，官员在评估所提交的合同、工作邀请函或其他有关预期工资或服务报酬的证据的可信度时，会考虑该企业已从政府实体、风险投资基金、天使投资人或其他此类资助者处获得大量资金的证据。

Criterion 10: 

Commercial successes in the performing arts, as shown by box office receipts or record, cassette, compact disk, or video sales.

USCIS determines whether the person has enjoyed commercial successes in the performing arts.

This criterion focuses on volume of sales and box office receipts as a measure of the person's commercial success in the performing arts. Therefore, the mere fact that a person has recorded and released musical compilations or performed in theatrical, motion picture, or television productions would be insufficient, in and of itself, to meet this criterion. The evidence must show that the volume of sales and box office receipts reflect the person's commercial success relative to others involved in similar pursuits in the performing arts.

标准 10：

在表演艺术方面取得商业成功，如票房收入或唱片、磁带、光盘或录像带的销售情况。

美国公民与移民服务局确定申请人是否在表演艺术方面取得商业成功。

这一标准侧重于销售量和票房收入，以此衡量个人在表演艺术方面的商业成功。因此，仅凭一个人录制和发行过音乐合集或在戏剧、电影或电视作品中表演过这一事实本身并不足以满足这一标准。证据必须表明，销售量和票房收入反映了该人相对于其他从事类似表演艺术活动的人在商业上的成功。
