dismissed EB-1A Case: Conductive Polymer Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three criteria. The AAO concurred with the director that the petitioner's memberships did not require outstanding achievements and that articles citing his work were not 'about' him. Furthermore, the petitioner's evidence for original contributions, primarily reference letters from close associates, was deemed insufficient to prove major significance to the field as a whole or sustained acclaim.
