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 submitted awards were determined to be local or provincial rather than national, lacked evidence of their significance, and were not recent. The evidence for memberships in associations failed to prove that they require outstanding achievement for admission, and key documents were accompanied by uncertified translations.
