dismissed EB-1A Case: Professional Go Game
Decision Summary
The motion was granted but the previous decision was affirmed and the petition was ultimately denied. The AAO determined the petitioner's awards did not qualify as major, internationally recognized prizes, and found evidence for other awards insufficient to prove national versus regional recognition. Additionally, published materials were found to be simple tournament result listings rather than substantive articles about the petitioner in major media.
