dismissed EB-1A Case: Filmmaking
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he had received nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence that his student film festival awards were nationally significant, and for other festivals, he only proved his films were selected for screening, not that he won a prize. Additional documentary evidence was found to be insufficient, uncorroborated, or improperly translated.
