dismissed EB-1A Case: Athletics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a tennis player and coach, failed to demonstrate that she sustained her past national acclaim. While she had significant achievements as a player in the former Soviet Union, the evidence for her subsequent coaching awards in Canada was found to be insufficient, undocumented, or untranslated, thus failing to meet the regulatory criterion for awards.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
