dismissed EB-1A Case: Semiconductor Physics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the criteria for nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards. The evidence submitted, including a Russian award, a Japanese fellowship, and Russian research grants, was found to be improperly documented, not proven to be prizes for excellence (but rather academic scholarships or research funding), and lacked evidence of the beneficiary's actual participation.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
