dismissed EB-1B Case: Materials Processing Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the beneficiary met the minimum evidentiary requirements by satisfying three criteria, the evidence in its totality did not establish the requisite international recognition. In the final merits determination, the AAO agreed with the Director that the beneficiary's peer review activities, research contributions, and publications were insufficient to demonstrate that he is internationally recognized as outstanding in his academic field.
