Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petition was improperly filed by the alien himself, rather than by a U.S. employer as required for the EB-1B Outstanding Professor or Researcher classification. The AAO affirmed the denial on this procedural basis and rejected the petitioner's request to have the case reconsidered under a different visa category after the initial denial.
