dismissed EB-1A Case: Reservoir Simulation Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that his work, which included developing several computer codes, constituted original contributions of major significance to the field as a whole. The submitted evidence, primarily letters from employers and colleagues, was not considered sufficient to establish sustained national or international acclaim, as it lacked proof of widespread impact beyond his immediate employment.
