dismissed EB-1A Case: Investment Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found that the submitted evidence, such as academic awards and honor society memberships, constituted local scholastic achievements rather than nationally recognized awards in the petitioner's field. Similarly, her membership in a professional association was based on standard educational and experience requirements, not on outstanding achievements judged by experts.
