dismissed EB-2 Case: Materials Engineering
Decision Summary
The motion was ultimately dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary meets the Department of Labor's stringent standard for exceptional ability under Schedule A, Group II. The AAO clarified that its prior finding that the beneficiary met the USCIS definition of exceptional ability was insufficient, as the DOL standard requires a higher level of widespread acclaim and international recognition, which the submitted evidence did not establish.
