dismissed EB-1A Case: Performing Arts
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The AAO found the evidence for the 'prizes or awards' criterion to be insufficient, noting the petitioner did not establish the significance of the competitions. The AAO also withdrew the director's initial favorable finding on the 'published materials' criterion, concluding the petitioner did not meet the required number of criteria.
