USCIS dismissed
New York 2025-01-28
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to meet at least three of the ten EB-1A criteria. Specifically, the 'awards' criterion was not met as the submitted 'certifications' and 'certificates of appreciation' were deemed local/regional, job performance-based, and not nationally or internationally recognized prizes for excellence. The 'judging' criterion was not met because the Petitioner's evaluations of subordinates and candidates were considered job duties in varying fields (military security compliance, linguistics), not judging the work of others in her asserted field of administrative services and facilities management.
