dismissed EB-1B Case: Clinical Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, while the petitioner submitted evidence that met the minimum requirement of two criteria (judging the work of others and scholarly articles), the AAO determined this evidence was insufficient in the final merits analysis. The AAO found the accomplishments reflected routine duties and did not prove the beneficiary was internationally recognized as outstanding in the academic community.
