dismissed EB-1A Case: Peking Opera
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The director found the evidence for claimed awards insufficient, noting they appeared local or regional, lacked certified translations, and that no awards were won since the petitioner's arrival in the U.S. in 1998. The petitioner also failed to provide adequate evidence for other criteria, such as proof of publication for a submitted article or box office receipts demonstrating commercial success.
