dismissed EB-1A Case: Asphalt Sealer
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner provided no evidence to support the claim of extraordinary ability as an asphalt sealer. The director found that none of the regulatory criteria were met, and the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. On appeal, the petitioner attempted to change the petition to a different classification (skilled worker), which is impermissible.
