sustained EB-1A Case: Biomedical Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the petitioner satisfied at least three of the regulatory criteria. The decision highlights the petitioner's role on editorial boards as evidence of judging the work of others, and her original research on neurogranin as a contribution of major significance, which was supported by laudatory witness letters and a high number of citations (144) to her published work.
