dismissed EB-1A Case: Copywriting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for the classification. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's advertising awards did not meet the high standard of a 'one-time achievement' like a Nobel Prize. Furthermore, the petitioner did not satisfy the alternative requirement of meeting at least three of the ten regulatory criteria, as the AAO found he only met two.
Criteria Discussed
One-Time Achievement (Major, Internationally Recognized Award) Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Participation As A Judge Of The Work Of Others Leading Or Critical Roles For Distinguished Organizations High Salary
