dismissed EB-1A Case: Entertainment Advertising
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required number of criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. Although the AAO disagreed with the director and found the petitioner did meet the 'awards' criterion through his Key Art Awards, it concurred that he did not meet the 'published material' criterion, as the articles submitted were about the awards ceremony and not specifically about the petitioner's work.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Published Material About The Alien In Professional Or Major Trade Publications Participation As A Judge Of The Work Of Others
