dismissed EB-1A Case: Public Health Dentistry
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that she met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The Director initially found she met only the 'judging' criterion. The AAO reviewed the 'membership' criterion on appeal and found her memberships did not require 'outstanding achievements' judged by experts, but rather were based on 'outstanding potential' or had unclear requirements, thus failing to meet the standard.
