INS has specified "exceptional ability" in the sciences, arts, or business as "a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered." To prove such exceptional ability, the INS regulations propose submitting at least three of these kinds of documentation :
* A license to practice the profession or certification for a particular profession or occupation
* Evidence in the form of letter(s) from current or former employer(s) showing that the alien has at least ten years of full-time experience in the occupation for which s/he is being sought
* An official academic record showing that the alien has a degree, diploma, certificate, or similar award from a college, university, school, or other institution of learning, relating to the area of exceptional ability
* Evidence that the alien has commanded a salary, or other remuneration for services, which demonstrates exceptional ability
* Evidence of recognition for achievements and significant contributions to the industry or field by peers, governmental entities, or professional or business organizations.
* Evidence of membership in professional associations. Here, the applicant must have a job offer in the profession for which s/he is academically prepared.
Have a good one folks.
