dismissed EB-1A Case: Chemistry
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. Although the AAO found that evidence submitted on appeal was sufficient to meet the 'original contributions' criterion, it determined that the petitioner's peer review activities were a routine professional obligation and not evidence of having risen to the very top of the field. The petitioner ultimately failed to satisfy the required number of evidentiary criteria.
