dismissed EB-1A Case: Peking Opera
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that he met the minimum three regulatory criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The evidence for his national awards was found insufficient, as there was no proof of their significance, some were for youth or regional competitions, and the acclaim was not shown to be sustained. Additionally, the petitioner did not establish that his membership in an association required outstanding achievements for admission.
