dismissed EB-1A Case: High-Tech Sales / Software Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary's personal receipt of any awards. The evidence submitted pertained to awards won by the beneficiary's company, not the beneficiary himself, and there was no documentation to substantiate the claim that the company's awards were due to the beneficiary's specific contributions. The unsupported assertions of counsel were deemed insufficient to meet the petitioner's burden of proof.
