dismissed EB-1A Case: Neonatology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the 'original contributions of major significance' criterion. The Director found the petitioner met two criteria, but on appeal, the AAO determined that the evidence, including letters of support, demonstrated the petitioner's potential but did not establish that his work had already significantly impacted the field as a whole. Since the petitioner did not meet the required minimum of three criteria, the appeal was dismissed.
