dismissed EB-1A Case: Medical Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish the sustained national or international acclaim required. The petitioner failed to prove that a research grant was an award given to her personally, as it was awarded to her supervisor. Furthermore, she did not demonstrate that her professional memberships required outstanding achievements, and her letters of recommendation were insufficient to prove her contributions were of major significance to the field at large.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations Requiring Outstanding Achievement Original Scientific Or Scholarly Contributions Of Major Significance
