dismissed EB-1A Case: Nuclear Physics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The AAO determined that the evidence did not meet the claimed criteria, concluding that conference presentations were not prizes, memberships did not require outstanding achievements, and overseeing the review of his own paper did not constitute judging the work of others.
