dismissed EB-1A Case: Culinary Arts
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required. The evidence, primarily letters of support, was insufficient to prove the distinguished reputation of the restaurant where she worked over ten years prior. Additionally, the AAO noted a lack of sustained acclaim, as the petitioner had not worked in her field since arriving in the U.S. more than a decade before the petition was filed.
Criteria Discussed
Leading Or Critical Role For Organizations Or Establishments That Have A Distinguished Reputation High Salary Or Other Significantly High Remuneration For Services
