dismissed EB-1A Case: Chemistry
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he met the evidentiary criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The director determined that the petitioner's awards were from his time as a student, his professional memberships did not require outstanding achievements, and his work as a reviewer of others' work was not sufficient to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim.
