dismissed EB-1A Case: Molecular Biology And Medical Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The evidence submitted, including academic awards and a postdoctoral fellowship, was deemed to be for scholastic achievement rather than proof of being at the very top of the field. The petitioner did not meet the regulatory criteria for awards or for membership in associations requiring outstanding achievement.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards For Excellence Membership In Associations Requiring Outstanding Achievements
