dismissed EB-1A Case: Ballroom Dance
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The submitted awards were deemed local or amateur-level rather than nationally or internationally recognized prizes, and there was no evidence that the petitioner had coached dancers to the highest professional levels. The evidence did not demonstrate that the petitioner had risen to the very top of the field of endeavor.
