dismissed EB-1A Case: Graphic Arts
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted for the 'prizes or awards' criterion, such as inclusion in a regional newspaper guide and a past 'Runner-Up Award,' was not sufficient. The evidence for the 'published material' criterion consisted of promotional materials and gallery listings, not substantive articles in major media about the petitioner's work.
