I. 国际或全国性获奖
美国移民局没有对国际或全国性获奖有明确的规定，但是根据以往类似案例的经验我们总结出以下的经验。
A. 对奖项的要求
这种国际或全国性奖项一般的概念是，这种奖项略低于重要的国家或国际公认的主要奖项。从最近的AAO所办的案例来看，这些奖项的最必须的条件是它必须是全国公认的，在该领域很有声望，并且该领域最有经验的专家都渴望夺冠。在LIN-02-282-52045 (AAO)这个案例中 AAO否认了这个奖项，因为这个奖项并非向所有的专家开放，所以这个奖项不符合移民局的标准。
在另一案例中，AAO 裁定，只设置了一个竞争的奖项是不够的。在WAC-02-169-50172 (AAO)这个案例中，AAO裁定，如果没有更多的证据的支持，赢得了全国著名的物理学奖不等于赢得全国物理奖。
以一个较小的国际公认奖为例，AAO认可由意大利牙周病学会颁发的Henry M. Goldman年度国际优秀研究奖。AAO认可这个奖项是因为申请者提供了整个竞赛过程的证据。
B. 小组获奖不会给与太多考虑
对由一个小组获得的国家或国际公认的奖项，移民局不会给与太多的考虑。这是因为该奖可能是由于其他人的努力而获得。
C. 不被认可的奖项
学术奖学金，奖学金和助学金，是很常见的，但是它们不属于重大的奖项。此外，只有少数国家参与的奖项没有资格成为国际公认的奖项。最后，当地的比赛获奖通常不会被承认
D. 结论
申请者为申请杰出人才提交的奖项必须是声誉很高的国际或国家大奖。申请者还必须提交证明其重要性的证据，（有多少人参加了比赛，有多少人被该奖项提名，竞争的标准），以及是否是国家或国际公认的。
I. RECEIPT OF LESSER NATIONALLY OR INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED PRIZES OR AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE
There is no exact indication from USCIS as to what is a lesser nationally or internationally recognized prize or award for excellence. But throughout the years, there have been many cases that can be of guidance.
A. The Requirement For The Awards
The required prize or award should be just below a major nationally or a major internationally recognized prize or award. In recent Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) cases, the necessary requirement for the award is that it must be nationally recognized as prestigious and that the most experienced experts in the field aspire to win it. In re Petitioner LIN-02-282-52045 (AAO). In that case, the AAO noted that the particular student prize was not open to all experts and so the award was not recognized as a lesser nationally recognized award.
In another case, AAO ruled that a competitive award by itself is not enough. In re Petitioner WAC-02-169-50172 (AAO), the AAO ruled that winning a prestigious national award in physics is not equal to winning a lesser national award.
AAO recognized a lesser international award as being the annual Henry M. Goldman International Award for Excellence in Research issued by the Italian Society of Periodontitis. The AAO reviewed the award selection process and found the award to be sufficient. In re Petitioner WAC-01-2510-52838 (AAO).
B. Group Efforts Are Given Less Consideration
A less nationally or internationally recognized award for a group of people is discounted. This is because USCIS does not know which person has done what. This can be overcome however, with the right evidence.
C. Non-Recognized Awards
Academic scholarships, fellowships and grants are usually not recognized by USCIS as being significant prizes or awards. In re Petitioner, WAC-98-152-51452 (AAO). Also, an award merely containing individuals from more than one country does not automatically qualify it as an internationally recognized award.
D. Conclusion
Award submitted for an alien with extraordinary ability must be a prestigious national or international award. The alien must also submit evidence of its significance, and whether it is nationally or internationally recognized.
