dismissed EB-1A Case: Hematopathology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The director found the evidence insufficient for several criteria: claimed awards were found to be student scholarships, memberships did not require outstanding achievements, a single citation to his work was not considered significant published material, and his judging activities were part of his regular training duties rather than an invitation based on his acclaim.
