USCIS EB-1A dismissed
2024-10-04
The appeal is dismissed because the Petitioner failed to provide initial evidence of a one-time achievement or meet at least three of the ten evidentiary criteria. Specifically, the Petitioner did not demonstrate that his association memberships required outstanding achievements, that his original contributions (including published articles and citations) were of major significance to the field of water resources engineering, or that his roles were leading/critical for organizations with distinguished reputations. The AAO found the evidence insufficient to establish sustained national or international acclaim, concluding the Petitioner is not among the small percentage at the very top of his field.
