dismissed EB-1A Case: Colloid Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. For the 'judging' criterion, the petitioner provided no documentary evidence of his peer review activities, and the AAO noted that routine peer review is not sufficient evidence of acclaim. For the 'original contributions' criterion, the director concluded that the petitioner had not established an impact of major significance in the field.
