dismissed EB-1B Case: International Economics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the beneficiary met three initial evidentiary criteria, the Director and AAO concluded in the final merits determination that the totality of the evidence did not establish the required international recognition as outstanding. The evidence of judging others' work (reviewing a few manuscripts) and other accomplishments was deemed insufficient to demonstrate the beneficiary stood apart in her academic field.
