dismissed EB-1A Case: Film Production
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate receipt of a major, internationally recognized award. The AAO found that the numerous film festival awards presented were not from major festivals and lacked sufficient evidence of their international significance. Furthermore, the petitioner's selection as a judge for the Emmy Awards was considered under a different criterion, was not equivalent to winning a major award, and occurred after the petition was filed.
Criteria Discussed
Major Internationally Recognized Award Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Judging The Work Of Others
