dismissed EB-1A Case: Professional Cycling
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient documentary evidence to support his claims of winning nationally or internationally recognized awards. The evidence submitted, such as website pages and photos of medals without inscriptions, was deemed insufficient, and many of the competitions were found to be local, regional, or age-restricted (e.g., 'junior', 'U-23'), rather than demonstrating acclaim at the very top of the field.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
