dismissed EB-1B Case: Computer Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, despite meeting the initial evidentiary requirement of satisfying at least two criteria, the totality of the evidence was insufficient to establish that the beneficiary is internationally recognized as outstanding in his academic field. The AAO concluded that evidence such as a mentored fellowship for early-career researchers and 'Senior Member' status in the IEEE did not demonstrate achievements rising to the level of 'outstanding' required for the classification.
