dismissed EB-1A Case: Forestry
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he meets the minimum required criteria. The AAO found that the petitioner's awards were institutional rather than nationally or internationally recognized, and he failed to provide evidence that his membership in a professional society required outstanding achievements for admission. The submitted evidence was insufficient to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim at the very top of the field.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations Requiring Outstanding Achievements
