dismissed EB-1A Case: Photography
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim by meeting at least three of the required criteria. The evidence submitted for an award lacked proof of its national significance, claims of participating in exhibitions were unsubstantiated assertions, and evidence for high salary and commercial success lacked supporting documentation like receipts.
