dismissed EB-1A Case: Singing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the 'lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards' criterion. The certificates submitted as evidence were not in English, and the provided translations failed to comply with regulatory requirements (8 C.F.R. § 103.2(b)(3)) as they were not certified by a competent translator. As a result, the evidence was deemed not probative and was not accorded any weight.
