dismissed EB-1A Case: Music Promotion
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence to meet the claimed criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The evidence for membership in an association did not show that it required outstanding achievement, the published materials were about artists the petitioner promoted rather than about the petitioner himself, his participation as a judge was for an amateur competition, and support letters failed to establish original contributions of major significance.
