About this document

An RFE response for the high-salary criterion in an EB-1 filing, paired with certified translations and an attached salary comparison graphic. It centers on an Engineering Services Agreement and compares the applicant's pay for real estate development work against multiple salary sources in Belarus. The response claims a large percentage gap over reported averages and places the evidence in Exhibit 6.
