dismissed EB-1A Case: Painting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner did not prove that articles about his work were published in major media, and evidence of his exhibitions lacked documentation of critical acclaim or significant recognition. A prior achievement, having a painting on a UNICEF card in 1996, was considered too dated to establish the requisite sustained acclaim.
