dismissed EB-1A Case: Acrobatics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director determined the petitioner did not establish sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted for a major, one-time award was insufficient as the awards were not proven to be on the level of a Nobel Prize or Olympic Gold Medal. The evidence for lesser awards was also unpersuasive due to inconsistencies in the record, a lack of certified translations as required by regulation, and failure to demonstrate the national or international significance of the prizes.
