dismissed EB-1A Case: Jewelry Design
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the required number of criteria. The director determined the petitioner only met one criterion (published materials). Evidence for other criteria, such as nationally recognized awards, membership in selective associations, and original contributions of major significance, was found to be insufficient to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim.
