dismissed EB-1A Case: Film And Television Composer
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he met the criterion for nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards. The AAO concluded that awards won by films he composed for, such as 'Best Film,' were not awarded to him personally. Furthermore, his selection for a prestigious film scoring workshop was deemed a training opportunity rather than an award for excellence in the field.
