dismissed EB-1A Case: Particle Physics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The AAO determined that citations to the petitioner's work do not qualify as published material about him, his internal review activities for a large collaboration did not constitute judging the work of others at a high level, and letters from experts were insufficient to prove contributions of major significance. The AAO found the petitioner only met the criterion for authorship of scholarly articles.
