dismissed EB-1A Case: Cell Biology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria. Although the AAO determined the petitioner met the criteria for scholarly articles and original contributions of major significance, it overturned the Director's finding on the 'judging' criterion. The AAO reasoned that mere membership on editorial boards was insufficient without documentary evidence of actual participation as a judge.
