dismissed EB-1A Case: Theatrical Characterization
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The AAO found that the petitioner's evidence, particularly the Konex award, did not prove receipt of a major, internationally recognized award. The AAO concluded that the evidence was insufficient to demonstrate the petitioner is one of the small percentage who has risen to the very top of the field.
Criteria Discussed
