dismissed EB-1B Case: Forest Products And Paper Science Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary is recognized internationally as an outstanding researcher. The AAO found that membership in Sigma Xi did not necessarily require 'outstanding' achievements, peer-reviewing manuscripts was a routine activity in the field, and submitted articles citing the beneficiary's work did not constitute published material *about* the beneficiary.
Criteria Discussed
Membership In Associations Requiring Outstanding Achievement Published Material About The Alien'S Work Judging The Work Of Others Original Scientific Or Scholarly Research Contributions
