dismissed EB-1A Case: Life Sciences
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary's sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO determined that the submitted evidence, including recommendation letters and patents, did not prove the beneficiary's contributions were of major significance to the field as a whole. Specifically, the influence of the beneficiary's work and patents was asserted but not supported by sufficient independent, documentary evidence.
