dismissed EB-1B Case: Computer Communication Security
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner self-petitioned for an EB-1B Outstanding Professor or Researcher classification, a category which requires a U.S. employer to file the petition. The petitioner failed to meet this fundamental requirement, and the attempt to re-characterize the petition as a National Interest Waiver on appeal was rejected as it belongs to a different visa classification.
