EB-1B Dismissed — Chemistry (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. The AAO found that citations to the beneficiary's work do not qualify as published material about the beneficiary. Additionally, it determined that reference letters containing significant boilerplate language and pending patent applications were insufficient to prove original scientific contributions.
