dismissed EB-1B Case: Software Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because while the beneficiary met the initial evidence requirement of satisfying at least two criteria, the totality of the record did not establish the requisite international recognition as outstanding in his field. The AAO agreed with the Director's final merits determination that the evidence, including peer review invitations without proof of actual review, was insufficient to demonstrate the beneficiary stood apart in the academic community.
