EB-1B Dismissed — Elementary Education (2005): did not establish the beneficiary is internationally

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary is internationally recognized as outstanding in her academic field. The AAO determined that published articles about the beneficiary's work were not in professional publications and pertained to theater, not her claimed academic field of elementary education. Additionally, the evidence submitted to demonstrate her participation as a judge of the work of others was deemed insufficient as of the petition's filing date.
