dismissed EB-1A Case: Performance Arts
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. A single second-place award from five years prior was not sufficient to demonstrate sustained acclaim. Additionally, the evidence for the award's recognition was deemed self-serving and did not prove it was nationally or internationally recognized.
Criteria Discussed
Documentation Of The Alien'S Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards For Excellence In The Field Of Endeavor.
