dismissed EB-1A Case: Endodontics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, who was found to meet only one criterion initially, failed to sufficiently document her eligibility for additional criteria on appeal. The evidence provided for her 'Merit Badge' did not establish it as a nationally recognized award, and for her memberships, she did not prove that the associations required outstanding achievements as judged by experts. The petitioner ultimately failed to meet the minimum threshold of three criteria.
