EB-1B Dismissed — Materials Science And Engineering: did not establish the beneficiary is recognized

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary is recognized internationally as outstanding. The AAO affirmed the director's finding that the beneficiary's membership in the honor societies Sigma Xi and Tau Beta Pi did not satisfy the criterion requiring membership in associations that demand outstanding achievements, as their standards were not considered sufficiently high to demonstrate eminence in the entire academic community.
