dismissed EB-1A Case: Research And Software Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found that the petitioner's memberships did not require outstanding achievements, the submitted reviews of his work did not qualify as published material about him in major media, and his role as a peer reviewer was considered a routine part of the academic process rather than evidence of extraordinary ability.
