dismissed EB-1A Case: Dance
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to submit certified translations for several key international awards, preventing the AAO from evaluating their significance. For other lesser awards, the evidence was deemed insufficient to establish that they represented sustained acclaim at the very top of the field, as some were for youth competitions or their significance was not adequately documented.
Criteria Discussed
One-Time Achievement (Major, Internationally-Recognized Award) Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
