dismissed EB-1A Case: Dance And Choreography
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for an alien of extraordinary ability. The director determined, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence submitted for the 'prizes or awards' criterion, such as local diplomas and participation certificates, did not demonstrate that the petitioner was one of the small percentage who had risen to the very top of his field.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
