USCIS dismissed

2025-01-23

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner only satisfied one criterion (judging) out of the required three. The evidence for memberships was rejected as it described certification rather than membership; original contributions were not supported by independent evidence of industry-wide adoption; and the leading/critical role evidence lacked specific metrics to show importance to the organizations' overall activities.

2025-01-08

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to satisfy at least three of the ten evidentiary criteria for extraordinary ability. Specifically, membership in the Egyptian Bar Association was deemed mandatory for practicing lawyers, not indicative of outstanding achievement. The Petitioner also failed to identify any distinguished organization for which he held a leading or critical role, and his claims of high remuneration were not supported by comparative evidence. The AAO found that the submitted evidence, including client letters, did not demonstrate the required sustained national or international acclaim.

USCIS rfe dismissed

2024-10-25

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to meet at least three of the ten evidentiary criteria required for extraordinary ability classification. While the AAO affirmed the Director's finding that the Petitioner met the 'judging' criterion and reversed the Director's finding on 'authorship of scholarly articles' (finding it met), the Petitioner did not satisfy the 'awards', 'memberships', 'published material about the petitioner', 'original contributions of major significance', or 'leading or critical role' criteria. Specifically, the Egyptian scholarship lacked sufficient national/international recognition and was not solely in his field. Memberships did not require outstanding achievements judged by experts. Published material about him lacked substantial discussion and proof of major media status. Original contributions lacked specific explanation of major significance. Leading roles were established, but the universities' distinguished reputations were not sufficiently demonstrated.
