dismissed EB-1A Case: Neuroscience
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for this classification. The evidence presented, a Wellcome Trust International Research Fellowship, was determined to be an award for promising scientists at the beginning of their careers, rather than an honor for individuals who have already risen to the very top of their field.
