EB-1B Dismissed — Petroleum Engineering: the evidence failed to demonstrate the beneficiary's

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the evidence failed to demonstrate the beneficiary's international recognition as outstanding. The AAO determined that the beneficiary's academic degrees, scholarships, and a presentation honor did not constitute major prizes or awards. Furthermore, his membership in the Sigma Xi society was found to not require outstanding achievement, as its publication requirements were considered inherent to the work of a scientific researcher.
