dismissed EB-1A Case: Athletics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. Much of the evidence for awards was not submitted with certified English translations, and the awards that were documented were from several years prior to the petition's filing, thus not demonstrating sustained acclaim. Evidence of coaching success submitted on appeal could not be considered as it occurred after the petition was filed.
Criteria Discussed
