dismissed EB-1A Case: Research Chemistry

📅 Date unknown 👤 Individual 📂 Research Chemistry

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim as of the filing date. The AAO concurred with the director that the petitioner's academic awards and memberships in professional organizations like Sigma Xi and the American Institute of Chemists did not meet the high standards for this visa category. Evidence submitted after the filing date, such as participation as a reviewer for a journal, could not be considered to establish eligibility.
