dismissed EB-1A Case: Business
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner did not establish that he met the criteria for membership in associations requiring outstanding achievement or for making original contributions of major significance. Furthermore, the petitioner had not been employed in his claimed field of investment management for nearly a decade prior to filing, which undermines the core requirement of sustained acclaim.
