dismissed EB-1A Case: Dance
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence of awards was found insufficient as it did not establish the prestige of the awards, many were won in amateur competitions rather than at the highest professional level, and the awards were not recent enough to prove sustained acclaim.
