dismissed EB-1A Case: Graphic Design
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director determined the petitioner had not established sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted for the awards criterion, such as various certificates, was found to be unreliable due to inconsistencies, grammatical errors, and a fill-in-the-blank format, and failed to prove they were nationally or internationally recognized prizes for excellence.
