dismissed EB-1A Case: Chinese Opera
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The director found the submitted awards were either regional, too old to demonstrate sustained acclaim, or lacked sufficient evidence of their national significance. Furthermore, media coverage was deemed local rather than major media, and evidence for membership in associations did not prove that the associations required outstanding achievements.
