dismissed EB-1A Case: Equestrian Show Jumping
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The director and the AAO found that the petitioner met only one of the ten regulatory criteria, falling short of the required minimum of three. Additionally, the AAO distinguished between the petitioner's past accomplishments as a competitor and his more recent work as a trainer, viewing them as different areas of expertise.
