dismissed EB-1A Case: 3D Animator
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility by meeting at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO reviewed the 'awards' criterion and determined the evidence was insufficient, as the awards for projects the petitioner worked on were issued to the companies (e.g., Hakuhodo, Inc.) rather than to the petitioner himself. The petitioner was not listed as a recipient in the award documentation.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
