dismissed EB-1A Case: Screenwriter And Director
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director determined the petitioner had not established the sustained national or international acclaim required for an alien of extraordinary ability. The petitioner failed to provide sufficient and consistent evidence to meet the criteria, specifically for prizes or awards, as the documentation for the Hartley-Merrill Prize contained inconsistencies and being invited to compete for another award does not equate to winning it.
Criteria Discussed
Documentation Of The Alien'S Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards For Excellence In The Field Of Endeavor
