dismissed EB-1A Case: Interventional Radiology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the petitioner met the minimum threshold of three criteria, the evidence failed the final merits determination. The AAO found that a single instance of peer review and contributions that only impacted the beneficiary's own patients did not demonstrate the sustained national or international acclaim required to prove the beneficiary was at the very top of their field.
