dismissed EB-1A Case: Athletics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the prizes and awards he received were from nationally or internationally recognized competitions. The AAO found the evidence, including race results and letters from coaches, insufficient to prove the significance of the events, and therefore could not demonstrate the required sustained national or international acclaim.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
