dismissed EB-1A Case: Plant Biology And Horticulture
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the evidence failed to demonstrate the sustained national or international acclaim required for this classification. The director found that published materials about the beneficiary, such as brief citations in treatises published many years prior, were insufficient. Additionally, the letters of support were not enough to establish that the beneficiary's contributions were of major significance to the field as a whole.
