dismissed EB-1A Case: Athletics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim as required. While the petitioner presented evidence of awards, they were from several years prior to the petition's filing date and were not sufficient to prove that his acclaim had been sustained. The director also found a lack of clear evidence that the petitioner would continue to work in his area of expertise in the United States.
