dismissed EB-1B Case: Biomass Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the evidence submitted for the beneficiary, while technically meeting the criteria for judging others' work and scholarly articles, was found to reflect routine accomplishments rather than international recognition. Furthermore, the petition failed on several grounds related to the employer's qualifications, including the lack of a formal job offer, failure to demonstrate it employs at least three full-time researchers, and no evidence of its own documented accomplishments in the field.
