dismissed EB-1A Case: Flair Bartending
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim by meeting at least three of the regulatory criteria. The evidence provided for prizes and awards was found to be of local, not national, significance. Additionally, the submitted published material failed to identify the petitioner by name or discuss his work, and lacked evidence of major media distribution.
