dismissed EB-1B Case: Controls Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the petitioner met the minimum evidentiary requirement of submitting evidence under two criteria (judging the work of others and authorship of scholarly articles), the evidence was not persuasive in the final merits determination. The AAO concluded that the evidence reflected routine duties and accomplishments common in the field, and did not establish that the beneficiary had garnered the required international recognition as an outstanding researcher.
