dismissed EB-1A Case: Painting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. Although the petitioner submitted numerous certificates for awards, there was insufficient evidence to demonstrate the significance of these honors or that they constituted recognition at a national or international level. The unsupported assertions of counsel regarding the prestige of the awards were not considered sufficient evidence.
