EB-1B Dismissed — Biotechnology: the evidence failed to establish the beneficiary's

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the evidence failed to establish the beneficiary's international recognition as outstanding. The AAO determined that the beneficiary's scholarships and fellowship were not major prizes recognizing achievement in his field, but rather student awards or grants for future research. Furthermore, the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence that the beneficiary's membership in a professional association required outstanding achievements of its members.
