dismissed EB-1A Case: Electro-Optical Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence submitted did not meet the high standards for the classification. Specifically, the petitioner's scholarships were for students, not established professionals, an internal company award lacked evidence of national recognition, and he failed to prove membership in associations requiring outstanding achievement.
