EB-1B Dismissed — Elementary Education (2005): did not establish the beneficiary was internationally
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was internationally recognized as outstanding in her academic field. The AAO found that published articles about the beneficiary's work were not in professional publications and were not about her work in the specific academic field of elementary education. Additionally, the evidence for her participation as a judge of the work of others was deemed insufficient as of the filing date.
