dismissed EB-1A Case: Dance
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary earned sustained national or international acclaim. The awards submitted were from the beneficiary's amateur and youth competitions, not at the highest professional level. Furthermore, the petitioner did not demonstrate that the beneficiary sustained his acclaim as a dancer through a successful coaching career, as there was no evidence of his students winning significant national or international titles.
Criteria Discussed
