dismissed EB-1A Case: Medicinal Chemistry
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The evidence submitted for membership in associations was deemed insufficient as the American Chemical Society does not require outstanding achievements for membership. Additionally, the published material submitted, including citations and a law firm newsletter, did not meet the criterion of being material about the petitioner in major media.
