修订税收记录以匹配tier 1 general 申请中所述的收入数据是2016年的一个新趋势，可能是因为众所周知，UKVI正在对HMRC记录进行检查。对于申请人行为模式的这种变化，没有其他解释。同样，除了这些年份的tier 1 general 申请数量较多之外，没有确定与2010/11和2012/13纳税年度相关的更多修订请求的理由。

在EB1A申请人没有获得过类似诺贝尔奖或奥斯卡奖的重大成就（one-time achievement）时，需要满足移民局另外提供的10条标准中的3条来完成最初举证。如果也不能满足这10条中的3条，申请人还可以提交类似证据来证明 “申请人属于特殊人才” 。在完成最初举证后，移民局会综合所有证据来审查申请人是否1）在科学、艺术、教育、商务、或体育这五大领域内有特殊能力，享有持续的国内或国际声誉，已跃升为领域内最顶尖的少数人；2) 申请人来美后会在其拥有特殊能力的领域继续工作；和 3）申请人有望令美国实质受益。 这篇文章将重点讨论上述10条标准中的一条(另9条请见本系列其他文章)：“有证据证明申请人的作品在艺术展览或展示中被展出（Evidence of the display of the alien's work in the field at artistic exhibitions or showcases )” 。
艺术展览展示（artistic exhibitions or showcases）顾名思义应当只适用于艺术领域的EB1A申请人。然而，艺术这一概念所包含的范围很广，例如文学艺术（包括诗歌、戏剧、小说等）、视觉艺术（绘画、雕塑等）、图文设计、造型艺术、装饰艺术（室内设计等）、表演艺术（戏剧、舞蹈、音乐等），并不是所有的艺术类型都符合EB1A对艺术展览展示的要求。
移民局在政策备忘录及以往的案例中为“艺术展览展示”这条标准设定了以下几点具体要求：
1.被展出的的确是申请人的作品（must be the alien’s）;
2.申请人的作品被多次（in the plural）展览和展示；
3.展出作品的场所或媒介（包括虚拟的）是艺术性的展览或展示（artistic exhibitions or showcases）。
申请人必须以充分证据满足以上全部条件。
1.被展出的的确是申请人的作品（must be the alien’s）。
申请人如果只是口头主张其作品被展览展示过，而不能提供任何证据支持，是不满足这条标准的。移民局要求申请人提供切实具体的证据来证明自己的作品的确在一些展览展示中被展出过。
例如，申请人主张他为HBO和Cinemax这两家美国电视台做的平面设计曾在电视上播出过并赢得过一些奖项，他还为很多著名跨国公司做过平面设计，包括雀巢（Nestle）, 可口可乐（Coca-Cola）, 百事可乐（Pepsi-Cola）和拜耳制药（Bayer）。他请了一些人给移民局写信简要指出以上的作品都是他创作的。例如来自可口可乐公司的市场经理的一封信写道：“申请人为一个果味饮料系列提供了精致的新设计。”然而移民局发现，这些信件没有经过认证，而且也不能充分地从逻辑上说明以上作品都是他创作的。
又例如，一位申请人提交了一些关于两个电影节（Fallbrook Film Festival and Bangkok Indie Fest 2010）的网页材料，但是没有证据能从逻辑上将申请人的作品与两个电影节联系起来，所以移民局没有采纳这些证据。幸好，移民局认为申请人另外提交的文件充分地显示了他的电影短片确实曾在其他一些电影节和活动中被展出，包括日落高尔电影工作室举办的洛杉矶影人论坛（Filmmakers Los Angeles forum at Sunset Gower Studios）, 康涅狄格州的肯特电影节（the Kent Film Festival in Connecticut）, 康涅狄格州的里奇菲尔德山电影节（the Litchfield Hills Film Festival in Connecticut）, 和第六届纽约市下城电影短片节（the 6th New York City Downtown Short Film Festival）。
2.申请人的作品被多次（in the plural）展览和展示。 移民局曾多次表示这条标准要求申请人的作品参与过多次展览或展示。在本条标准“有证据证明申请人的作品在艺术展览或展示中被展出（display of the alien's work...at artistic exhibitions or showcases)” 中，” 展览和展示” 的原文 (“exhibitions or showcases”) 明确地使用了复数形式，而且EB-1A的举证要求本身也要求申请人提供大量充分的证据。更重要的是，移民局有将复数词汇理解为仅包含复数而不包含单数的习惯。例如在解读EB-1A的10条标准中的另一条： “有证据证明申请人在一些著名的组织 (distinguished organizations) 中扮演领导或关键角色” 时，移民局明确了其 “遵循字面意义” 的原则，指出复数词汇并不包含仅发生过一次的情况。
3.展出作品的场所或媒介（包括虚拟的）是艺术性的展览或展示（artistic exhibitions or showcases）。
1）这条标准只适用于 “艺术” ，不包括学术研究或者其他非艺术方面的展览展示。
例如，一位申请人认为他在学术会议上做的演讲演示应该满足这条标准。移民局并不同意这种看法，指出：“申请人所在的领域是科学而不是艺术...既然申请人不是艺术家也没有创作出在展览和展示中被展出的有形艺术品，他没有能满足这条标准的证据。” 所以， 申请者在国际学术会议上被邀请做主旨演讲，并不能算是作品展示。
4) 有一定表演性质的体育比赛不是合格的艺术展览或展示。 例如，移民局在以往的案例中曾指出：“这条标准适用的对象是视觉艺术（例如雕塑和绘画）而不包括健美。本案申请人主张：‘健美是一种艺术，就像画家在艺术展览中展示绘画一样，健美者在艺术展览上展示身体，因为最近被承认是体育项目这些健美展览才开始被称为比赛...阿诺德施瓦辛格（Arnold Schwarzenegger）的DVD《重量训练（ Pumping Iron）》最好的解释了这一点，里面讲到施瓦辛格将他自己视为一樽雕塑’...然而，施瓦辛格将他自己看作艺术品并不是能说明健美是一种艺术的决定性证据...申请人还指出惠特尼美国艺术博物馆（Whitney Museum of American Art）曾在1976年举办过阿诺德施瓦辛格、弗兰克赞恩（Frank Zane）、和艾德科尼（Ed Corney）的现场健美展示...即使我们接受健美是一种艺术的观点，申请人也没有证明他参加的比赛与施瓦辛格等人在惠特尼美国艺术博物馆的展示是相似的...律师认为申请人在国家业余健美协会（NABBA）比赛中被邀请做健美展示是在一场‘展示中被展出’。虽然这种健美展示的确类似于在‘展示中被展出’，但是申请人并没有证明这种展出是‘艺术性’的...不是所有艺术形式都是这条标准要求的视觉艺术。没有证据证明健美这种‘表演艺术’与视觉艺术有可比性，我们认为健美不符合这条标准。真正适用于申请人在健美比赛中的表现的EB1A标准应该是 ‘有证据证明申请人因在领域内有杰出贡献，获得过知名度稍低一些的国家性或国际性奖项（lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards）’。”
这里也可以看出惠特尼艺术博物馆举办的健美展览是真人做出健美姿势展示的形式，与典型的静态艺术品陈列式展览虽然略有不同但是比较相似，在移民局的眼里也不是完全没有可能成为合格的EB1A艺术展览展示。
在另外一个案例中，空手道比赛也由于同样的原因被移民局拒绝认为是艺术展览或展示。其他类似的表演性运动还有体操、花样滑冰、跳水等等。
5) 不是所有表演都是视觉艺术。
除了在上述关于健美运动的案例中，移民局在以往的案例中还多次强调过：“不是所有表演都是一场展示表演者所创造的艺术的艺术性展览”。换句话说，有很多表演没有视觉艺术性。但是移民局和联邦法院并没有在此基础上进一步澄清哪些表演构成视觉艺术，而只是提供了一些不合格的案例。在这些案例中，除了上述健美之外，还有很多艺术形式被移民局定义为与“视觉艺术”要求不符的“表演艺术”。
i. 舞蹈表演和编舞 曾有申请人主张：“虽然这条标准排除了艺术以外的其他领域，但是法规并没有进一步将这条标准限制于某一个具体的艺术类型。应当将申请人的舞蹈被展示于观众眼前，及大众对她的作品的兴趣考虑在内”。移民局否认了这一点：“申请人是个舞蹈家和编舞。当她在观众面前表演时，她并不是像画家或者雕塑家在画廊或者博物馆‘展示’作品那样‘展示’她的舞蹈。申请人是‘表演’她的舞蹈，而不是‘展示’她的舞蹈。而且，申请人是表演艺术家，表演是她的工作的内在要求。不是所有表演都是一场对表演者创造的艺术的艺术性展览。认可申请人这种表演艺术满足本条标准会使得法规要求满足至少三条标准失去意义” 在这个案子里，移民局特意强调了“表演”与“展示”的不同，并且以绘画和雕塑为例说明了“艺术展览展示”这条标准所要求的艺术指的是那些可以与艺术家个人分离进行放置性展示的视觉艺术品，例如绘画、雕塑、电影。
类似的，移民局还认定过著名的太阳马戏团（cirque du soleil）的表演也不是合格的视觉艺术品。可见，类似于舞蹈和马戏表演这种形体动作类的表演都不能满足“艺术展览展示”这条标准.
ii. 音乐演出 一位申请人参加了多次音乐演出。他的律师在上诉中提出：“交响乐团音乐会和其他音乐演出证明了申请人的作品曾在艺术展览中被展出。”然而移民局并不同意：“长久以来，联邦法院一直将这条法规解读为仅限于视觉艺术...既然申请人不是创作过在展览和展示中被展出的有形艺术品的视觉艺术家，而是一位音乐家，申请人不满足这条标准” 这里，音乐演出的失格主要是由于它明显的比起视觉艺术更属于听觉艺术。
iii. 在电影或其他戏剧中出演角色
例如，一位申请人出演过一部叫做《别碰我，朋友》（Just Don 't Touch Me, Amigo）的舞台剧和电影 《团结》（Solidarity ）。移民局认为：“申请人是一位演员。当他在电影中或剧场中面对观众表演，并不是像画家或者雕塑家在画廊或者博物馆‘展示’作品那样‘展示’他的表演。而且，申请人是表演艺术家，表演是他的工作需要...虽然申请人的电影和舞台剧表演作为证据对于其他EB1A申请标准有相应的价值，但是不能用来满足这条标准。申请人的表演与‘表演艺术取得商业成功’那条标准的关系要远远强于本条标准。”
与舞蹈类似，不论是电影、电视、舞台剧、歌剧或其他任何形式的戏剧演出由于不属于可以与艺术家个人分离进行放置性展示的视觉艺术品，也不是合格的“艺术展览或展出”。不过，移民局也指出，这种“表演”经历有可能满足‘表演艺术取得商业成功’那条标准。
iv. 时装表演和其他模特活动
曾有一位申请人认为她作为模特所参与的时尚大牌的时装活动、时装表演、和其他展示及广告可以满足这条标准，或者至少应被作为同等证据考虑。这一观点没有得到移民局的认同：“这些时尚大牌的时尚活动、时装表演、和其他展示所展出的并不是申请人自己的作品，而是申请人身上所穿戴的时尚设计公司和设计师创作的作品。”
类似于电影导演和演员的关系，虽然时装模特的表演不属于艺术展览展示，但是时装设计师的作品被模特在秀场中展示可以使设计师满足“艺术展览展示”这条标准
总结
由此可见，EB1A所要求的 “艺术展览展示” 必须是对申请人创作的可以与艺术家个人分离的视觉艺术的放置性展示。表演艺术或者有一定程度表演性质的体育运动一般不满足这条标准，但是有可能满足其他EB1A标准，例如：“有票房收据或记录、卡带、光碟、或视频销售记录等证据证明，申请人在表演艺术方面获得了商业成功（commercial successes in the performing arts）”或者“有证据证明申请人在声誉卓著的组织或机构中扮演过领导或关键角色（leading or critical role for organizations or establishments）”。

由于NIW是第二优先级，申请人需要满足的必要条件比第一优先级的申请更宽松，例如EB1A的特殊人才（extraordinary ability）和EB1B的杰出教授或研究员（outstanding professor or researcher）。申请人并不需要证明她已经达到了其领域内最顶尖的专业水平，而只需要符合国家利益。

sufficient evidence of such exceptional ability.
(k) Aliens who are members
of the professions holding advanced degrees or aliens of exceptional ability.
(1) Any United States employer
may file a petition on Form I-140 for classification of an alien under section 203(b)(2) of the Act as an alien who is a member of the

alien's behalf, may be the petitioner.
(2) Definitions. As used in this
section:
Advanced
degree - means any United States academic or professional degree or a foreign
equivalent degree above that of baccalaureate. A United States baccalaureate
degree or a foreign equivalent degree followed by at least five years of

这里举证标准指的是需要多大力度的证据才能使一份NIW申请获得批准。包括NIW在内的大部分行政类的移民程序的举证标准都是优势证据原则（preponderance
of the evidence）。根据优势证据原则，如果申请人提交了
“有关的，有证明力的，可信的” 证据，能令移民局相信 “是比否的可能性更大” 或者 “很可能是真的” ，就足够满足优势证据原则的要求。优势证据原则适用于上述NIW审理标准中的每一步。

显示全部
EB1A特殊人才移民（Alien of
Extraordinary Ability）是第一优先级 (first preference) 的职业移民(employment-based) 方式。虽然EB1A是职业移民，但是它不需要雇主作为申请人支持，也不需要在递交申请时有雇主愿意提供工作，所以申请人可以自己独立申请EB1A。
虽然目前第一优先级的工作移民申请排期已经在2019财年（始于2018年10月）成为常态，但仍是常用职业移民类别中排期最短的。第一优先级目前拥有约1年的递交申请日排期，这意味着身在美国的申请人可以在递交EB1A申请I-140后约1年提交I-485调整永久居留身份（adjustment
of status）——也就是永久居留权/绿卡申请，比其他职业移民类别更早享受到递交I-485所带来的好处。第一优先级还拥有2年多的最终裁定日排期，允许申请人在递交I-140后仅等待2年多就能获批绿卡。
Aliens with extraordinary ability. - An alien is described in
this subparagraph if -
(i) the alien has extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts,
education, business, or athletics which has been demonstrated by sustained
national or international acclaim and whose achievements have been
recognized in the field through extensive documentation,
(ii) the alien seeks to enter the United States to continue work in the
area of extraordinary ability, and
(iii) the alien's entry into the United States will substantially benefit
prospectively the United States.
(1) An alien, or any person on behalf of the alien, may file an I-140
visa petition for classification under section 203(b)(1)(A) of the Act as
an alien of extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business,
or athletics.
(2) Definition. As used in this section:
Extraordinary ability means a level of expertise indicating that the
individual is one of that small percentage who have risen to the very top
of the field of endeavor.
(3) Initial evidence. A petition for an alien of extraordinary ability must
be accompanied by evidence that the alien has sustained national or
international acclaim and that his or her achievements have been
recognized in the field of expertise. Such evidence shall include
evidence of a one-time achievement (that is, a major, internationally
recognized award), or at least three of the following:
(i) Documentation of the alien's receipt of lesser nationally
or internationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence in the
field of endeavor;
(ii) Documentation of the alien's membership in associations in the field for which classification is sought, which require outstanding achievements of
their members, as judged by recognized national or international experts in
their disciplines or fields;
(iii) Published material about the alien in professional or major
trade publications or other major media, relating to the alien's work in the
field for which classification is sought. Such evidence shall include the
title, date, and author of the material, and any necessary translation;
(iv) Evidence of the alien's participation, either individually or on a
panel, as a judge of the work of others in the same or an allied field
of specialization for which classification is sought;
(v) Evidence of the alien's original scientific, scholarly, artistic,
athletic, or business-related contributions of major significance in the
field;
(vi) Evidence of the alien's authorship of scholarly articles in the
field, in professional or major trade publications or other major media;
(vii) Evidence of the display of the alien's work in the field at artistic
exhibitions or showcases;
(viii) Evidence that the alien has performed in a leading or critical role
for organizations or establishments that have a distinguished reputation;
(ix) Evidence that the alien has commanded a high salary or other
significantly high remuneration for services, in relation to others in
the field; or
(x) Evidence of commercial successes in the performing arts, as shown
by box office receipts or record, cassette, compact disk, or video sales.
(4) If the above standards do not readily apply to the
beneficiary's occupation, the petitioner may submit comparable evidence to establish the beneficiary's eligibility.
(5) No offer of employment required. Neither an offer for employment in
the United States nor a labor certification is required for this
classification; however, the petition must be accompanied by clear evidence
that the alien is coming to the United States to continue work in the area
of expertise. Such evidence may include letter(s) from prospective
employer(s), evidence of prearranged commitments such as contracts, or a
statement from the beneficiary detailing plans on how he or she intends to
continue his or her work in the United States.
在EB1A的国会立法报告中特别指出诺贝尔奖（the Nobel
Prize）是一个一次重大成就的例子。在移民局和联邦法院的案例中，普利策（the
Pulitzer Prize）、奥斯卡（the Academy Award）、和奥林匹克运动会奖牌（Olympic
Medal）也都被算作合格的一次重大成就。
如果申请人主张他（她）满足这条标准，则申请人要承担举证责任。证据应当包括，但不限于，对申请人所在地区的工资或与申请人相同职务的人的工资统计数据，证明申请人工资高于统计数据中的平均水平的正当性的材料，和劳工统计局（The Bureau of Labor Statistics）及劳工部（The
Department of Labor）的统计数据。注意，这一条标准是要考量申请人的收入与其工作所在地的收入水平相比是否很高，而不是与美国的平均收入比。所以如果申请人还没有来到美国，请将其收入与其目前工作的地区内类似职位的收入水平作比较，而不要将其收入直接按汇率转换成美金后与美国的同行相比。
这里举证标准指的是需要多大力度的证据才能使一份EB1A申请获得批准。包括EB1A特殊人才在内的大部分行政类的移民程序的举证标准都是优势证据原则（preponderance
of the evidence）。根据优势证据原则，如果申请人提交了
“有关的，有证明力的，可信的” 证据，能令移民局相信 “是比否的可能性更大” 或者 “很可能是真的” ，就足够满足优势证据原则的要求。
如果申请人需要使领馆程序，在I-140中相应的地方应该选择使领馆程序。在I-140被批准后，且排期结束或者当前没有排期时，国家签证中心（National Visa Center）会通知您已经或即将有可以用的签证号，并安排您缴费和提交绿卡申请材料。这些申请材料一般都是申请人和附属申请人的个人信息有关文件，例如护照、结婚证、出生证等，以及I-140的复印件和批准通知。在这一阶段使领馆的审查内容主要是申请人的身份，与附属申请人的关系等基本信息，以及是否有犯罪记录，所以会比I-140阶段的审查宽松。
A good beginning
is half success，一份完美的申请材料可以奠定成功批准的基础，并省去很多后期不必要的弥补措施。然而，NIW并不是可以简单上手DIY的一个移民类别，我们不愿看到您付出的时间、努力、和金钱付诸东流，因而建议您在准备申请材料时寻求专业移民律师的协助。如果您有意了解或者申请NIW，不妨先联系我们进行免费评估。凭借我们移民案件95%的整体成功率，和近十年的相关经验，我们承诺会竭尽所能，保证以最大的真诚和严谨的态度来帮助您在追寻美国梦的途中走好每一步。
