dismissed EB-1A Case: Television Production
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for an alien of extraordinary ability. The evidence provided for the 'awards' criterion, a Logie Award, was deemed insufficient because the award was presented to the television program as a whole, not to the petitioner individually. The AAO also found the supporting documentation, a Wikipedia printout for the wrong year, to be unreliable and inadequate proof of the award's significance or the petitioner's receipt of it.
