dismissed EB-1A Case: Arts
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that his past fame as a Taiwanese pop singer constituted the required sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found that the evidence did not meet the specific regulatory criteria, noting that his military award was not shown to be a nationally recognized prize in the arts, published articles lacked proper translations or proof of major media circulation, and his work did not establish original contributions of major significance.
