EB-1B Dismissed — Chemistry (2022): despite meeting the initial evidentiary requirements
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, despite meeting the initial evidentiary requirements (satisfying at least two criteria), the totality of the evidence did not demonstrate that the Beneficiary is internationally recognized as outstanding in her field. The AAO agreed with the Director that the level and frequency of her peer review activities and other accomplishments were not sufficient to prove the high level of achievement required for this classification.
