USCIS EB-1A remanded
2024-11-26
The Director initially found the Petitioner met two criteria: awards and judging. On appeal, the AAO found the Petitioner also met the scholarly articles criterion (8 C.F.R. § 204.5(h)(3)(vi)). The AAO clarified that the USCIS Policy Manual, which superseded the Adjudicator's Field Manual, does not require professional publications to be 'major' for scholarly articles, only that the intended audience consists of professionals in the field. The Petitioner's articles in aerospace journals and conference proceedings satisfied this, bringing the total criteria met to at least three, which is sufficient to proceed to a final merits determination.

USCIS EB-1A remanded
2024-04-17
The decision was remanded because the record was incomplete and the Director failed to analyze if the Petitioner's role as a chief legal officer in the aviation industry qualified under the 'business' category. The Director also failed to conduct the required two-part analysis, including whether the Petitioner met at least three of the ten initial evidentiary criteria.
