dismissed EB-1A Case: Sciences
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he met the minimum evidentiary criteria. The submitted grants were not proven to be nationally or internationally recognized prizes for excellence, with one document lacking a certified translation and others being viewed as research funding rather than awards for past achievement. Furthermore, the evidence for original contributions, including witness letters and publications, was deemed insufficient to demonstrate a major impact on the field as a whole.
