dismissed EB-1A Case: Education / Communications
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The AAO determined that judging the work of her students was a routine part of teaching and not indicative of acclaim. Furthermore, her claimed original contributions, such as creating online courses and authoring course materials, lacked evidence of major significance or widespread impact in the field.
