dismissed EB-1B Case: Polymer Science And Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary is recognized internationally as outstanding. The evidence for membership in associations did not show that the organizations required outstanding achievements for membership. The evidence of judging the work of others was not persuasive as it was requested by a close colleague (a member of the beneficiary's thesis committee) and was considered a routine part of the academic field, not necessarily an indicator of international acclaim.
