dismissed EB-1A Case: Martial Arts
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the requisite number of criteria to establish sustained national or international acclaim. While the AAO found the petitioner met the criterion for awards, it determined the evidence for membership in associations did not prove the organizations required outstanding achievements, and the submitted published material was either promotional, from non-major media, or too brief to demonstrate the petitioner's acclaim.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards For Excellence Membership In Associations In The Field Which Require Outstanding Achievements Published Material About The Alien In Professional Or Major Trade Publications Or Other Major Media Participation As A Judge Of The Work Of Others In The Same Or An Allied Field
