dismissed EB-1A Case: Music
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he meets at least three of the regulatory criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The evidence provided for his awards was insufficient to prove they were nationally or internationally recognized. Similarly, he failed to show that his membership in an association required outstanding achievements, and he provided no sales data to prove commercial success.
