dismissed EB-1A Case: Music
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director determined that the petitioner, a musician and composer, had not established the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. Although the petition was initially approved, it was revoked upon review, and the AAO upheld this decision, finding the evidence of awards insufficient to prove the petitioner had risen to the very top of the field.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
