dismissed EB-1A Case: Dance And Choreography
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that he meets the criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The AAO found that the submitted awards and diplomas were primarily for local or regional recognition, for participation rather than competitive wins, or from youth events. The petitioner did not provide evidence establishing that these awards were nationally or internationally recognized, a key requirement of the regulation.
Criteria Discussed
