dismissed EB-1A Case: Electrical And Mechanical Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The director initially denied the petition for lack of initial evidence. On appeal, the petitioner's claimed honorary doctorate was not found to meet the high standard of a major, internationally recognized award, and there was insufficient evidence to prove other claimed honors qualified as nationally or internationally recognized prizes for excellence.
