dismissed EB-1A Case: Business
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The submitted evidence for awards was found to be local recognition, based on monetary contributions rather than business excellence, or for being a finalist rather than a winner. Additionally, membership in a CEO organization was deemed non-qualifying as its entry requirements (company revenue and employee numbers) were not considered evidence of outstanding achievement.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations Requiring Outstanding Achievement Leading Or Critical Role For Organizations With A Distinguished Reputation
