dismissed EB-1A Case: Biotechnology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The evidence submitted for the 'prizes or awards' criterion, such as a fellowship for 'young Italian scientists' and a 'Special Performance Bonus' from an employer, was deemed insufficient as it did not represent nationally or internationally recognized awards for excellence at the very top of the field.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
