dismissed EB-1A Case: Building Design
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted for the awards criterion was found to represent local recognition at best, and its authenticity was questioned. The petitioner also failed to show that his membership was in an association requiring outstanding achievements of its members, and the AAO noted significant inconsistencies in the record which cast doubt on the petitioner's claims.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations Requiring Outstanding Achievement
