dismissed EB-1A Case: Chef
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner's awards were deemed local rather than national, his professional qualification certificate did not constitute membership in an association requiring outstanding achievement, and he provided no evidence of his book's circulation or impact. Consequently, the petitioner did not meet the minimum three criteria required for this visa category.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations Which Require Outstanding Achievements Authorship Of Scholarly Articles In Professional Or Major Trade Publications
