dismissed EB-1A Case: Tennis
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary, a tennis player and coach, had achieved the necessary sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted for the 'prizes or awards' criterion, including junior championships and college honors, was deemed insufficient as it was either too old, not at the highest national level, or lacked primary documentation.
