dismissed EB-1A Case: Music
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director determined the petitioner had not established the requisite extraordinary ability through extensive documentation and sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found the evidence insufficient, noting for instance that while the petitioner received commemorative sales plaques for albums, his name did not appear in the official album credits, thus failing to link him directly to the achievement.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards For Excellence
