sustained EB-1A Case: Applied Mechanics And Composite Materials

Decision Summary

The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the petitioner satisfied at least three criteria for extraordinary ability. The decision highlights the petitioner's role as a judge of the work of others, evidenced by his review of proposals for the National Academies and the National Science Foundation, as well as textbooks for major publishers. Furthermore, the petitioner demonstrated original contributions of major significance through the development of a novel solution to a long-standing multiple-scattering problem and a new computational system, as confirmed by laudatory letters from distinguished professors.
