dismissed EB-1A Case: Transportation Analysis
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the required regulatory criteria. The AAO conducted a de novo review and found that the petitioner's academic awards and scholarships do not qualify as nationally or internationally recognized prizes for excellence sought by top experts in the field. Additionally, the evidence for membership in associations failed to demonstrate that these organizations require outstanding achievements from their members as a condition of membership.
