dismissed EB-1A Case: Gallery Director
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met at least three of the required regulatory criteria as of the petition's filing date. The AAO determined that evidence submitted for prizes and memberships did not meet the criteria's requirements, and published materials were not primarily about the beneficiary or in major media. Evidence that came into existence after the filing date could not be considered.
Criteria Discussed
