dismissed EB-1A Case: Bonsai Art
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that his awards were nationally or internationally recognized for excellence. The submitted evidence lacked documentation about the awards' significance and selection criteria, and the AAO noted that acclaim had not been sustained as the awards were several years old. The petitioner also failed to respond to a request for evidence regarding the nature of the awards.
