dismissed EB-1A Case: Graphic Arts
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim as a graphic arts designer. The evidence submitted for the 'prizes or awards' criterion was deemed insufficient, with certificates containing inconsistencies, errors, and lacking proof of national or international significance. The AAO found that the submitted awards reflected local recognition at best and did not demonstrate that the petitioner had risen to the very top of the field.
