dismissed EB-1A Case: Event Production
Decision Summary
Although the petitioner met the initial evidentiary requirement by satisfying three criteria, the appeal was dismissed on final merits determination. The AAO found the submitted articles were mostly promotional and did not focus on the petitioner's work, and his role as a judge was not shown to be a result of sustained acclaim. Overall, the evidence did not prove the petitioner had achieved the sustained national or international acclaim required to be considered at the very top of his field.
