EB-1B Sustained — Semiconductor Manufacturing (2005): the AAO found that the petitioner provided sufficient

Decision Summary

The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the petitioner provided sufficient evidence to meet at least two of the regulatory criteria. The director had erred in concluding that the beneficiary's IEEE Fellow membership did not qualify as a membership requiring outstanding achievement. The AAO also found that the beneficiary's patents, the significant number of citations to them, and expert letters established original scientific contributions to the field.
