dismissed EB-1A Case: Advertising Art
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish sustained national or international acclaim. The submitted letters were deemed self-serving and insufficient to prove original contributions of major significance, showing only client satisfaction rather than a broader impact on the field of art. The director and AAO also found there was no independent evidence submitted to prove the display of the petitioner's work at artistic exhibitions or showcases.
