dismissed EB-1A Case: Arts
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence for prizes and awards was deemed insufficient, as it related to her time as a student, was not properly translated, was too old, or consisted of academic scholarships which are not professional awards. The submitted published materials were not considered significant media coverage about the petitioner's work.
