dismissed EB-1A Case: Biomedical Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the evidentiary criteria. The submitted published materials were not primarily about the petitioner or his work, and the publications were not proven to be major trade publications or major media. Additionally, testimonial letters supporting his contributions were primarily from colleagues, which the director noted could diminish their weight as independent evidence.
