dismissed EB-1A Case: Peking Opera
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim by meeting at least three of the regulatory criteria. The evidence for awards was determined to be local/provincial rather than national, lacked required translation certifications, and failed to establish the awards' stature. The petitioner's claims of authorship and commercial success were unsubstantiated and lacked supporting documentary evidence, such as proof of publication or actual box office receipts.
