dismissed EB-1A Case: Performing Arts
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted for judging, authorship, and commercial success was deemed insufficient, unverified, and not indicative of achievements at the very top of the field. An unresolved discrepancy was also noted, as the petitioner's passport listed her profession as 'Manager' rather than a performer.
