dismissed EB-1A Case: Poetry
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed primarily because the AAO found the petitioner had previously sought immigration benefits through a fraudulent marriage, which permanently bars the approval of the current petition under Section 204(c) of the Act. Additionally, the AAO upheld the director's decision that the petitioner failed to establish eligibility as an artist of extraordinary ability, citing inconsistencies and a reevaluation of the evidence.
Criteria Discussed
