EB-1B Dismissed — Organic Chemistry: did not establish the beneficiary is recognized
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary is recognized internationally as outstanding. The AAO concurred with the director that articles citing the beneficiary's work do not meet the criterion of being 'published material about the alien's work,' as such articles are primarily about the citing author's own research. The AAO also noted a procedural deficiency, as the petitioner failed to provide the actual job offer letter requested by the director.
Criteria Discussed
Published Material In Professional Publications Written By Others About The Alien'S Work In The Academic Field Evidence Of The Alien'S Original Scientific Or Scholarly Research Contributions To The Academic Field
