dismissed EB-1A Case: Singer
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. Specifically, the evidence submitted regarding the petitioner's awards was insufficient to demonstrate that they were nationally recognized prizes for excellence. The AAO also noted that the awards were several years old and thus could not evidence sustained acclaim.
