dismissed EB-1A Case: Dancesport
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish sustained national or international acclaim. The submitted awards were from youth competitions, which are not considered the top of the field, and were not recent enough to be considered 'sustained.' The petitioner also failed to prove membership in associations that require outstanding achievements of their members.
