dismissed EB-1A Case: Semiconductor Physics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the 'prizes or awards' criterion. The evidence submitted, including a Russian award and a Japanese fellowship, was determined to be for academic scholarships or research funding rather than nationally recognized prizes for excellence. Furthermore, critical evidence was not submitted with certified English translations as required, making it impossible to ascertain its value.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
