dismissed EB-1A Case: Horticulture Art
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted for the awards criterion was found deficient, containing inconsistencies such as incorrect gender, misspellings, and illegible seals, and lacking proof of the awards' national or international significance. Additionally, a discrepancy in the petitioner's passport, which listed her profession as "Manicurist," cast doubt on the credibility of her claim as an expert in horticulture art.
