dismissed EB-1B Case: Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary is recognized internationally as outstanding. The director and the AAO found that while the beneficiary held several patents, this alone did not demonstrate the significance of his work compared to others in the field. The submitted reference letters were primarily from the beneficiary's immediate colleagues and supervisors, lacking testimony from independent experts that would establish broader, international recognition.
