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 prizes and association memberships was deemed unpersuasive, representing local rather than national recognition, and its authenticity was questioned. The AAO also noted significant unresolved inconsistencies in the record, which cast doubt on the petitioner's claims.
