sustained EB-1A Case: Biomedical Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner successfully demonstrated eligibility under the required criteria. The AAO found that her service on the editorial boards for two journals satisfied the 'judging the work of others' criterion. Additionally, her original scientific contributions were deemed of major significance, supported by numerous testimonial letters from experts and a substantial number of citations to her published work.
