dismissed EB-1A Case: Computer Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the claimed criteria. The director found that the petitioner's academic and travel grants were student awards not applicable to her field of endeavor, a 'scientist pool' appointment was a form of temporary employment rather than an award, and other claimed prizes lacked sufficient documentation. Furthermore, the petitioner failed to provide evidence that membership in her professional associations required outstanding achievements, which is a key requirement of that criterion.
