dismissed EB-1A Case: Peking Opera
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim at the very top of her field. The evidence submitted for awards lacked proof of national stature and proper certified translations, and was not recent enough to show sustained acclaim. The petitioner also failed to provide sufficient evidence for other criteria, such as authorship of scholarly articles and commercial successes.
