dismissed EB-1A Case: Performing Arts
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required evidentiary standards for the criteria claimed. A certificate of recognition for being part of a production was not considered a prize for excellence, but rather a recognition of employment. Furthermore, membership in a production cast or a professional union was not found to require outstanding achievements as a prerequisite for admission.
