dismissed EB-1A Case: Food Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The director found the petitioner's plan to continue work in the U.S. was insufficient, and the AAO noted that his lack of employment was inconsistent with extraordinary ability. Furthermore, the petitioner did not establish that the professional associations he belonged to required outstanding achievements of all members, thus failing to meet that criterion.
