dismissed EB-1A Case: Folk Painting Artist
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner's awards were found to reflect local rather than national recognition, and there was no evidence of recent acclaim. Furthermore, the evidence for memberships in associations failed to show that they require outstanding achievements, and many submitted documents lacked the required certified English translations.
Criteria Discussed
