dismissed EB-1A Case: Muscle Biology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The director and the AAO found that the evidence submitted, including a provincial award, memberships in standard professional associations, and peer-review work for one journal, was insufficient to demonstrate that the petitioner had risen to the very top of his field.
