dismissed EB-1A Case: Business
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The AAO determined that the evidence presented was not indicative of 'sustained' acclaim, as the most significant achievements predated the petition by several years. Furthermore, the petitioner's counsel attempted to apply the same evidence to multiple unrelated criteria.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations Requiring Outstanding Achievements Published Material About The Alien Participation As A Judge Of The Work Of Others Original Scientific, Scholarly, Artistic, Athletic, Or Business-Related Contributions
