dismissed EB-1B Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the evidence, while technically meeting two criteria (judging the work of others and scholarly articles), was found to reflect routine duties and did not establish the beneficiary's international recognition. Additionally, the petitioner failed to meet basic technical requirements, such as providing a valid job offer addressed to the beneficiary and submitting evidence that it employs the requisite three full-time researchers.
