dismissed EB-1A Case: Folk Art
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence for awards was deemed insufficient as they were primarily local or provincial, lacked proof of their national significance, and were not recent. Additionally, the petitioner did not establish that her memberships required outstanding achievements, and her evidence for authorship was deficient due to uncertified translations and a lack of information on the publications' stature.
