dismissed EB-1B Case: Mechanical Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, despite the petitioner submitting evidence that met the minimum number of regulatory criteria, the evidence in its totality did not demonstrate that the beneficiary is recognized internationally as outstanding in his field. The AAO found that simply meeting the technical requirements of the criteria is insufficient without showing that the accomplishments reflect the high level of achievement required for the classification.
