Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner's accomplishments were primarily in engineering, which the AAO determined was a different field than the proposed employment in venture capital. Additionally, the awards presented were deemed academic student awards, which are insufficient to establish sustained national or international acclaim among experts at the top of the field.
Criteria Discussed
Documentation Of The Alien'S Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards For Excellence In The Field Of Endeavor
