dismissed EB-1B Case: Chemical Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary is recognized internationally as outstanding. The evidence submitted, including student scholarships and memberships in professional organizations, was deemed insufficient to meet the regulatory criteria. Specifically, the scholarships were not considered major prizes for achievement in the field, and the associations did not require outstanding achievements for membership.
