dismissed EB-1A Case: Art
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim by meeting at least three of the required regulatory criteria. The director and the AAO found the evidence submitted for awards, memberships, published materials, and original contributions to be insufficient. For example, the awards were deemed local, not national, and published materials were not established as being from major media or primarily about the beneficiary.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations Requiring Outstanding Achievement Published Material About The Alien In Major Media Participation As A Judge Of The Work Of Others Original Contributions Of Major Significance
