dismissed EB-1A Case: Acrobatics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO determined that the awards submitted were from youth or junior-level competitions, which are insufficient to prove that the petitioner is one of the small percentage who have risen to the very top of the field of endeavor, as required for the extraordinary ability classification.
