EB-1B Dismissed — Reproductive Biology (2013): did not establish the beneficiary enjoys international
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary enjoys international recognition as an outstanding researcher. While the beneficiary met the minimum of two evidentiary criteria (judging the work of others and scholarly articles), the AAO determined in its final merits analysis that the evidence reflected routine duties and was insufficient to prove that the beneficiary had risen to the very top of the field.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Major Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations Requiring Outstanding Achievement Published Material About The Alien'S Work Judging The Work Of Others Original Scientific Or Scholarly Research Contributions Authorship Of Scholarly Articles Or Books
