dismissed EB-1A Case: Biomedical Sciences
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that they met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. While the petitioner met the criteria for authorship of scholarly articles and judging the work of others, the AAO determined that citations to his work did not qualify as published material 'about' him. Additionally, the evidence provided was insufficient to establish that his original contributions were of major significance to his field.
