dismissed EB-1A Case: Dancesport
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The submitted awards were from youth competitions and were not recent, and lower rankings were not considered significant prizes. Additionally, the petitioner did not demonstrate membership in associations that require outstanding achievements of their members, a separate standard from simply being selected to compete.
Criteria Discussed
