dismissed EB-1A Case: Ballet Pianist
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted for awards lacked proof of national significance, the published material consisted of a single article in a newspaper of unproven major distribution, and her role as an accompanist for ballet classes and rehearsals did not meet the criteria for artistic exhibitions or commercial success as a lead performer.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Published Material About The Alien Display Of The Alien'S Work At Artistic Exhibitions Or Showcases Commercial Successes In The Performing Arts
