sustained EB-1B Case: Electrical Engineering
Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, finding the beneficiary lacked the required three years of experience and met only one of the six criteria for international recognition. The AAO sustained the appeal because it determined the Director failed to properly consider all evidence of the beneficiary's pre- and post-doctoral experience and gave insufficient weight to the beneficiary's well-cited publication record, concluding that a second criterion was met.
