dismissed EB-1A Case: Vascular Surgery
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the 'prizes or awards' criterion. The evidence provided, such as an award for an 'amateur' video and an 'Honorable Mention', was not proven to be nationally or internationally recognized for excellence in the field. Additionally, some supporting documents lacked the required certified English translations, preventing them from being given weight.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
