EB-1B Dismissed — Chemical Engineering (2005): did not establish the beneficiary is internationally
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary is internationally recognized as outstanding in his academic field. The AAO concurred with the director that the evidence, such as student scholarships and memberships in professional organizations open to anyone with an interest, did not meet the regulatory criteria for major awards or associations requiring outstanding achievement. The AAO also noted that the petitioner had not established that the job offer was for a permanent research position.
