dismissed EB-1B Case: Laser Physics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, although the beneficiary met the initial evidence requirement by satisfying three criteria, the totality of the evidence was insufficient to establish that he is internationally recognized as outstanding in his field. The AAO agreed with the Director's final merits determination that the quality of the evidence, including peer review activities and publications, did not demonstrate the required level of eminence and distinction.
