dismissed EB-1A Case: Aerospace Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The director determined that the petitioner's award was an academic scholarship, not a prize for excellence in the field. Furthermore, the petitioner's memberships in various associations were found to be based on experience level rather than outstanding achievements, thus failing to meet the regulatory criteria.
