dismissed EB-1A Case: Computational Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO concurred with the director that the evidence did not meet the plain language of the regulatory criteria, finding that student-level awards, memberships in non-exclusive associations, and citations to the petitioner's work were insufficient to prove he is among the small percentage at the very top of his field.
