dismissed EB-1A Case: Hair Styling
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim up to the time of filing. The director found that the petitioner's awards were earned over a decade ago in Argentina and did not establish current acclaim. Furthermore, the petitioner did not meet other criteria, such as membership in associations requiring outstanding achievement or having published material in major media.
