dismissed EB-1A Case: Researcher
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for an alien of extraordinary ability. The director initially found the petitioner met two regulatory criteria, but the AAO on de novo review determined the evidence did not support the finding for the scholarly articles criterion. Since the petitioner only met one of the required three criteria, the petition was ultimately denied.
