dismissed EB-1A Case: Neurology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted, such as a teaching assistant award, was deemed local institutional recognition rather than a national or international prize. Additionally, the petitioner's 'Junior' membership in a professional academy was not sufficient to demonstrate that membership was based on outstanding achievements as judged by experts in the field.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations Requiring Outstanding Achievement
