EB-1B Dismissed — Applied Economics: did not meet the minimum requirement of satisfying at least

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum requirement of satisfying at least two regulatory criteria. The AAO, upon de novo review, overturned the director's finding on the one criterion previously met, concluding that the beneficiary's activities as a peer reviewer and editorial board member for her own university's journal did not constitute evidence of international recognition.
