dismissed EB-1A Case: Cancer Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The AAO found that the petitioner's awards were not proven to be nationally or internationally recognized, her memberships did not require outstanding achievements as a prerequisite, and the citations of her work did not constitute published material about her. Evidence submitted on appeal that arose after the petition's filing date was not considered.
