dismissed EB-1A Case: Mixed Martial Arts
Decision Summary
The motion to reopen was dismissed primarily on procedural grounds, as the petitioner failed to submit a required statement about any judicial proceedings. The AAO also noted that, regardless of the procedural defect, the motion would be denied on its merits because the petitioner failed to establish that his MMA wins were nationally/internationally recognized awards or that the submitted articles were from major media.
