dismissed EB-1A Case: Microbiology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that he met the claimed criteria. The AAO determined that his certifications and licenses did not constitute membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements. Furthermore, while the petitioner listed publications that cited his work, he failed to provide the actual articles, preventing the AAO from assessing whether his contributions were of major significance.
