dismissed EB-1A Case: Biochemist
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove they met the criteria for sustained national or international acclaim. The awards submitted were deemed to be student-level awards or research grants, not nationally recognized prizes for excellence. Furthermore, the petitioner's memberships in professional associations did not require outstanding achievements for entry, a key requirement for this criterion.
