dismissed EB-1A Case: Cook
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim as a cook. The evidence for a prize from 1994 was deemed insufficient due to a lack of certified translation, contemporaneous publicity, or proof of the award's national significance. Furthermore, the petitioner failed to demonstrate that his memberships in associations required outstanding achievements as a condition for admission.
