dismissed EB-1A Case: Athletics

📅 Date unknown 👤 Individual 📂 Athletics

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required number of evidentiary criteria. While the AAO determined the petitioner satisfied the criterion for receipt of a nationally recognized award, it found the evidence for published materials was deficient due to incomplete translations. Additionally, the claims regarding original contributions of major significance and commanding a high salary were found to be unsubstantiated or based on an insufficiently narrow comparison group.
