dismissed EB-1A Case: Arts
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted for the awards criterion lacked proper certified translations and did not include supporting documentation to prove the awards were nationally or internationally significant. The evidence for membership in a qualifying association contained a factual discrepancy regarding the petitioner's age, which cast doubt on the evidence's validity.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards For Excellence Membership In Associations Which Require Outstanding Achievements Of Their Members
