问 gemini 一会儿说算一会儿又说不算。

I don’t think so.

Criterion 2: Membership in associations in the field for which classification is sought that require outstanding achievement of their members, as judged by recognized national or international experts in their disciplines or fields.[23]

USCIS determines if the association for which the person claims present or past membership[24] requires that members have outstanding achievements in the field as judged by recognized experts in that field.

Examples of associations in the field requiring outstanding achievement of their members may include, but are not limited to:

A membership in certain professional associations; and
A fellowship with certain organizations or institutions.

Considerations:

The petitioner must show that membership in the association requires outstanding achievements in the field for which classification is sought, as judged by recognized national or international experts.

Associations may have multiple levels of membership. The level of membership afforded to the person must show that in order to obtain that level of membership, recognized national or international experts judged the person as having attained outstanding achievements in the field for which classification is sought.

As a possible example, general membership in an international organization for engineering and technology professionals may not meet the requirements of the criterion. However, if that same organization at the fellow level requires, in part, that a nominee have accomplishments that have, for example, contributed importantly to the advancement or application of engineering, science, and technology, and that a council of experts and a committee of current fellows judges the nominations for fellows, that higher, fellow level may be qualifying.

Another possible qualifying example may include membership as a fellow in a scientific society dedicated to artificial intelligence if the membership is based on recognition of a nominee’s significant, sustained contributions to the field of artificial intelligence, and a panel of current fellows makes the selection of new fellows.

Relevant factors that may lead to a conclusion that the person’s membership in the association(s) was not based on outstanding achievements in the field include, but are not limited to, instances where the person’s membership was based solely on the following factors (by themselves or in the aggregate):

A level of education or years of experience in a particular field;
The payment of a fee or by subscribing to an association’s publications; and
A requirement, compulsory or otherwise, for employment in certain occupations, as commonly seen with union membership or guild affiliation for actors.

如果按照这个标准的话，ieee membership 这种也不行？

IEEE是典型的

不过以往一些例子用 graduate student membership 通过的，因为要求一个本科学位就不算“只要交钱就行”？

除非是去传统行业或者学术而且是pbk hkn这种存在感比较高的，感觉没啥吊用

要别人选你，不是你付钱成为member

这里的professional association的定义是指受邀加入的协会，类似于中国科学院 这样的

ICOM卡算不算

xs我当时收到过群发的， 就是为了让我交钱的那种，不过不知道楼主的是不是这样

这玩意我记得是典型骗局

我3.6的gpa也收到过邀请

fellow当然可以

不是，这跟professional有半毛钱关系吗，税都抵不了

還以為是 Hilton 的邀請制會員 The Honors Society

这东西还不如常旅客计划得membership​

其实应该加入

Ieee fellow 肯定没问题

问题是ieee fellow 不需要这些吧

做一个committee member 应该也能说两句
