dismissed EB-1A Case: Neuroscience
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO determined the petitioner's awards were limited to entry-level postdoctoral fellows and lacked evidence of broader significance. Additionally, the submitted professional membership did not require outstanding achievements, and evidence submitted to meet the 'published material' criterion was either insufficient or related to accomplishments that occurred after the petition's filing date.
