dismissed EB-1A Case: Accounting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate the necessary sustained national or international acclaim. Although the AAO acknowledged that the petitioner met the criterion for a leading or critical role, the overall evidence was deemed insufficient to prove he had risen to the very top of his field. The decision also noted that there was questionable evidence regarding the petitioner's plan to continue work in the United States, given the lack of a clear market for his niche expertise in Colombian accounting practices.
