dismissed EB-1A Case: Electrical Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he met the evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined that inclusion in a 'Who's Who' publication and receipt of research funding did not qualify as nationally recognized awards for excellence. Additionally, the petitioner's membership in Sigma Xi was found not to require the level of 'outstanding achievement' necessary to satisfy that criterion.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations Requiring Outstanding Achievements
