sustained EB-1A Case: Automatic Control And Signal Processing
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the evidence submitted previously and on appeal was sufficient to establish the petitioner's eligibility. Although the director had denied the case, and the AAO found the petitioner's prizes were regional rather than national, the AAO was persuaded by other evidence. Specifically, the petitioner's role as a judge for a national expert group and his substantial peer review work for an international journal were sufficient to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim.
