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 student awards, travel grants, and appointment to a 'scientist pool' did not qualify as nationally or internationally recognized prizes for excellence. Additionally, the petitioner failed to provide evidence that membership in her professional associations required outstanding achievements, which is a key requirement for that criterion.
