dismissed EB-1A Case: Medicine
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO concurred with the director that submitted certificates were for participation, not prizes or awards, and that the published materials were from local newsletters rather than major media. Furthermore, the decision noted serious concerns about the petitioner's apparent violation of medical licensing laws, which could render him inadmissible.
