EB-1B Dismissed — Magnetic Data Storage Technology (2008): did not establish the beneficiary is recognized

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary is recognized internationally as an outstanding researcher. The director determined that the evidence submitted, including an internal company award, a student scholarship, and a patent, did not meet the high standard for the criterion of 'major prizes or awards for outstanding achievement.' The AAO agreed with the director's assessment, finding the evidence insufficient to demonstrate the beneficiary had attained the required level of achievement.
