dismissed EB-1A Case: Athletics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary had achieved the requisite sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted for awards was either too old to demonstrate sustained acclaim or was uncorroborated by documentation. Furthermore, the petitioner did not prove that the beneficiary's memberships were in associations that require outstanding achievements from their members.
