dismissed EB-1A Case: Sciences
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility by meeting at least three of the regulatory criteria. The AAO concurred with the director that the petitioner only provided sufficient evidence for one criterion, authorship of scholarly articles. The evidence submitted for other criteria, such as published materials, judging the work of others, and original contributions, was found to be insufficient to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim.
