dismissed EB-1A Case: Arts
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. A majority of the submitted documents, including evidence of prizes, were in a foreign language without certified English translations, rendering them non-probative. For the evidence that was considered, the petitioner did not establish that his awards were nationally recognized or that they demonstrated he had risen to the very top of his field.
