dismissed EB-1A Case: Small Business Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for at least three of the required regulatory criteria. The appeal only contested the 'high salary' criterion but failed to provide objective evidence comparing the petitioner's salary to those in similar roles or to resolve discrepancies in the salary figures provided. Arguments concerning other criteria were considered waived.
