dismissed EB-1A Case: Acrobat
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the required three criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The AAO found that a submitted award was regional, not national, in scope. Additionally, the submitted published materials consisted of local media coverage, advertisements, or promotional pieces, which were insufficient to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Published Materials About The Alien In Professional Or Major Trade Publications Or Other Major Media
