dismissed EB-1A Case: Food Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The AAO concurred with the director's findings that the petitioner's academic degrees did not qualify as prizes or awards, her certification was not a membership requiring outstanding achievement, and the submitted publications were not sufficiently 'about' the petitioner.
