Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate extraordinary ability by meeting the minimum evidentiary requirements. The evidence provided for the 'prizes or awards' criterion, a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, was found to be insufficient as it was intended to fund a proposed future research activity rather than recognize the petitioner's past excellence in the field.
Criteria Discussed
Documentation Of The Alien'S Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards For Excellence In The Field Of Endeavor.
