dismissed EB-1A Case: Painting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed primarily because the majority of the petitioner's documents were submitted in a foreign language without the required certified English translations, rendering them non-probative. For the evidence that was considered, the petitioner failed to establish that the prizes he received were nationally significant or demonstrated sustained acclaim at the top of his field. Additionally, new evidence submitted on appeal was disregarded as it post-dated the petition's filing.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations Requiring Outstanding Achievement
