dismissed EB-1A Case: Athletics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a tennis coach, failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The AAO determined that the evidence provided for her prizes and awards, both as a player and a coach, was insufficient. Specifically, key documents were not translated as required, and claims of receiving major coaching awards were not adequately substantiated by the record.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
