dismissed EB-1A Case: Food Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted did not meet the claimed criteria, as academic degrees were not considered 'prizes or awards,' a professional certification was not deemed a 'membership' requiring outstanding achievements, and published cookbook reviews were not considered to be 'about' the petitioner. Counsel on appeal did not address the specific deficiencies identified by the director.
