dismissed EB-1A Case: Mechanical Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the submitted evidence met the regulatory criteria for the claimed field. Evidence of his membership in a legislative body and published articles about his political activities were deemed irrelevant to his claimed field of extraordinary ability as a mechanical engineering researcher. Furthermore, evidence of judging others was considered part of his normal duties as a professor and not indicative of sustained acclaim.
