dismissed EB-1A Case: Cosmetology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish she had received nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence. The AAO noted that several submitted documents lacked certified English translations as required. Additionally, the translations that were provided contained significant inconsistencies and errors, which undermined their reliability and the petitioner's claims.
