dismissed EB-1A Case: Arts
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence for the claimed criteria was found insufficient; a participation certificate was not a prize for excellence, membership requirements for associations were not proven to be based on outstanding achievement, and published materials were either too old to show sustained acclaim or from local publications rather than major media.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations Requiring Outstanding Achievement Published Material About The Alien In Professional Or Major Trade Publications Or Other Major Media Participation As A Judge Of The Work Of Others
