dismissed EB-1A Case: Folk Dance
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted for criteria such as awards, memberships, and published material was deemed insufficient, regional, or not from major media. Additionally, evidence of accomplishments that occurred after the petition's filing date could not be considered, and letters of support alone were insufficient to prove contributions of major significance.
