dismissed EB-1A Case: Painting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the evidentiary criteria. For the published materials criterion, the petitioner did not demonstrate that the articles about his work were in professional or major media. For the original contributions criterion, the evidence of his exhibitions and a UNICEF card feature lacked proof of critical acclaim or sustained recognition, failing to establish that his contributions were of major significance to the field.
