sustained EB-1B Case: Computer Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the director had mischaracterized the beneficiary's publication record, incorrectly stating the number of articles and the beneficiary's role as a primary author. The AAO determined that evidence of 13 articles, including six as sole author and consistent citations, was sufficient to meet the authorship criterion. Since the beneficiary met this criterion in addition to the already-satisfied criterion for judging the work of others, the petition was approved.
