dismissed EB-1B Case: Plastics Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary is recognized internationally as outstanding in his academic field. The AAO concurred with the director that the evidence, including student scholarships, membership in a professional society not requiring outstanding achievements, and publications with limited circulation, did not satisfy the high standards for at least two of the required criteria.
