dismissed EB-1B Case: Finance
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary is recognized internationally as outstanding in her academic field. The evidence submitted for the 'major prizes or awards' criterion was found insufficient, as a faculty grant was deemed local, for future work, and awarded after the filing date, while another research award was not proven to be a major award for outstanding achievement.
