dismissed EB-1B Case: Electronics Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the evidence did not establish the beneficiary's international recognition as outstanding. The AAO found that peer-reviewing manuscripts and advising a Ph.D. student were routine academic activities, not proof of being an acclaimed judge of others' work. Furthermore, a pending patent and conference presentations were considered insufficient evidence of original contributions without proof of widespread impact or implementation in the field.
