dismissed EB-1A Case: Business
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the evidence submitted did not meet the regulatory criteria. The articles about the beneficiary were not from major media, one was a paid endorsement, and others were dated after the petition was filed. Furthermore, the letters of recommendation submitted as evidence of original contributions were primarily from close associates and were deemed insufficient to establish contributions of major significance to the field as a whole.
