dismissed EB-1B Case: Sociology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not demonstrate that the beneficiary is internationally recognized as outstanding in her academic field. Although the beneficiary met the minimum of two evidentiary criteria, the AAO found that her achievements, such as peer reviews for her own university and media coverage largely confined to her home country, were not sufficient to establish the high level of international acclaim required by the visa classification.
