dismissed EB-1A Case: Dance
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her awards were nationally or internationally recognized, as most were deemed regional or local and lacked evidence of their significance. Additionally, the petitioner's evidence for the membership criterion reflected a qualification level ('Grade 2 Performer') rather than membership in an association requiring outstanding achievements for admission.
