dismissed EB-1A Case: Nephrology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the requisite extraordinary ability and sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner did not submit qualifying evidence under at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The evidence presented for the 'lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards' criterion was found insufficient, as the prize was a 3rd place student award, and supporting documentation was from unreliable sources like Wikipedia.
