dismissed EB-1A Case: Software Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the evidentiary criteria. The submitted award was found to be local, not national, and was awarded to a company, not the petitioner directly. Additionally, the petitioner's senior membership in the IEEE was not found to be based on outstanding achievements, as the requirements were deemed to be standard professional qualifications rather than extraordinary.
