dismissed EB-1A Case: Modeling
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a model, failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO determined that her media coverage was limited and not indicative of widespread recognition, as it primarily came from the tabloid that also published her pinup photos. Furthermore, the petitioner did not demonstrate that her book or articles constituted original contributions of major significance to the modeling field.
