dismissed EB-1A Case: Electrical Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish sustained national or international acclaim. The director determined that the petitioner's evidence did not meet the required criteria; his 'Certificate of Merit' was deemed a local student award rather than a nationally recognized prize, and he failed to show that his membership in IEEE required outstanding achievements.
