dismissed EB-1B Case: Quantitative Analysis
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, despite meeting the plain language of three evidentiary criteria (peer review, original research, and publications), the totality of the evidence was insufficient to establish that the beneficiary is internationally recognized as outstanding. The AAO found the beneficiary's peer review service was minimal and the letters of support were not from independent experts, thus failing to show a broad international reputation.
