dismissed EB-1B Case: Physics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary had attained the required international recognition as an outstanding researcher. The AAO found that the evidence submitted, such as inclusion in 'Who's Who' and a company bonus, did not meet the high standard for major awards. The argument that working on important government-funded projects confers international recognition was also rejected.
