USCIS EB-1A remanded
2024-07-23
The Petitioner satisfied the original contributions criterion by providing evidence of the Beneficiary's innovations in a 2005 role-playing game that influenced industry standards for physics modeling and camera collision detection. The Director's previous denial was withdrawn because the Beneficiary now meets three initial criteria: leading/critical role, high salary, and original contributions. A final merits determination is required to assess sustained national or international acclaim.

USCIS EB-1A rfe dismissed
Ontario 2024-04-11
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to meet at least three EB-1A criteria. The membership criterion was unmet as no bylaws or governing principles were provided; the published material criterion was unmet because the articles were about the employer's projects; and the judging criterion lacked specific dates and competition titles. Additionally, the original contributions were deemed to have impact only on specific companies rather than the field as a whole.
