dismissed EB-1B Case: Computer Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, despite the Director finding that the beneficiary met three evidentiary criteria, the AAO determined in its final merits determination that the evidence in totality was insufficient to establish that the beneficiary is internationally recognized as outstanding. The beneficiary's peer review activities were not shown to be indicative of international recognition, and while his work was cited hundreds of times, the record lacked evidence showing this was above his peers in the field.
