dismissed EB-1A Case: Physical Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility under the required minimum of three regulatory criteria. The AAO found that the petitioner abandoned their claim regarding the 'prizes or awards' criterion on appeal and failed to establish that their memberships in professional associations required outstanding achievements of their members. Because the petitioner did not meet the plain language of at least three criteria, the petition was denied.
