dismissed EB-1A Case: Journalism
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that a national award he received was for excellence specifically in his claimed field of journalism. The director concluded that the evidence did not establish that the 'Prabal Gorkhadachhinbahu Medal' from the King of Nepal qualified as a journalistic award, and the AAO upheld this finding.
