dismissed EB-1A Case: Acting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the evidentiary requirements for the claimed criteria. For the awards criterion, the petitioner submitted evidence of a nomination, not a win, which occurred after the petition was filed. For the membership criterion, the evidence did not establish that the organization required outstanding achievements for membership. Finally, the published material was not shown to be from major media, and some submitted articles were incomplete or illegible.
