dismissed EB-1B Case: Finance
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because even though the petitioner submitted evidence meeting the minimum requirement of two regulatory criteria (judging others' work and scholarly articles), the AAO found the evidence insufficient in a final merits determination. The evidence was deemed to reflect routine duties and accomplishments rather than the high level of international recognition and distinction required for this visa category.
