Machine Learning Research Scientist

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to meet at least three EB-1A criteria. Specifically, the 'original contributions' criterion was not met as citation data was considered average for the field and expert letters lacked corroboration of field-wide impact; the 'high salary' criterion was not met due to inadequate comparative data for his specific role and compensation structure.

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to meet at least three of the ten evidentiary criteria for extraordinary ability. Specifically, memberships in associations (AAAI, IAENG, IEEE Computer Society, ISAC) did not require outstanding achievements judged by experts, and some memberships were still processing or lacked supporting documentation. Original contributions lacked major significance, as support letters were conclusory and citation statistics did not demonstrate widespread influence or heavy reliance by other researchers. The Petitioner's leading/critical role as Director of ICT and AI researcher was not sufficiently proven with organizational charts or evidence of the organizations' distinguished reputations. Subsequent citations post-filing were not considered as eligibility must be met at the time of filing.
