dismissed EB-1A Case: Architecture
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an architect, failed to provide extensive documentation demonstrating sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO determined that the evidence submitted did not meet the high standard for this visa category. The petitioner's argument that a previous O-1 visa approval should be binding was rejected, as the immigrant petition requires a separate and more stringent evaluation.
