dismissed EB-1A Case: Biomedical Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found that the evidence submitted under the 'prizes or awards' criterion was insufficient, concluding that the petitioner's postdoctoral fellowships were training opportunities rather than awards for excellence, and the provincial and other certificates lacked evidence of national or international significance.
