USCIS rfe dismissed

New York 2025-03-31

The Petitioner did not meet any of the 10 EB-1A criteria; specifically, academic honors from Kazakhstan did not qualify as national/international awards, and memberships in IEEE and IISE did not require outstanding achievements. Scholarly articles were not provided or proven to be in major media, and roles as an assembler or ride operator were not leading or critical. No specific citation or publication counts were validated as meeting the regulatory standards.

USCIS remanded

New York 2025-01-30

The Director denied the petition because the petitioner did not establish eligibility under at least three of the ten criteria, specifically rejecting claims for awards and published material. Additionally, the Director concluded that the practice of law does not fall within the enumerated fields for extraordinary ability. The AAO withdrew this decision, agreeing with the petitioner that law can qualify under 'science or art' or 'business', and remanded the case for a merits determination on the remaining four claimed criteria.

2025-01-30

The motion to reopen was dismissed because new evidence for awards, memberships, original contributions, and leading role criteria did not address prior deficiencies or comply with translation requirements. Specifically, awards lacked proof of significance, memberships lacked proof of outstanding achievement requirements, original contributions evidence did not mention the Petitioner, and leading role evidence lacked explanation of relevancy or organizational distinction. The motion to reconsider was dismissed as the Petitioner failed to establish the prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy, and the standard of proof applied was deemed correct.

USCIS rfe dismissed

Kazakhstan 2025-01-15

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to demonstrate she met the high salary criterion (8 C.F.R. § 204.5(h)(3)(ix)). Although her monthly salary was higher than the average for an accountant in Kazakhstan, her position as 'Regional Accounting Manager' involved significant management duties beyond just accounting tasks. Therefore, the comparative salary data for 'accountants' was deemed inapplicable to her actual role, leading to insufficient evidence for the high salary criterion.

USCIS dismissed

Florida 2025-01-10

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to meet the minimum three evidentiary criteria for extraordinary ability. Specifically, the 'lesser nationally or internationally recognized awards' criterion was not met because the 'gold quality' diploma was issued to his company, not him personally, and lacked evidence of national or international recognition. Other claimed criteria (original contributions, leading role) were not evaluated due to the failure to meet the minimum threshold.
