dismissed EB-1A Case: Vegetable Carving
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The evidence submitted for awards was found insufficient, as the petitioner did not prove the prizes were nationally or internationally recognized, and the lack of recent awards failed to demonstrate sustained acclaim. The petitioner also did not meet the criteria for membership in associations that require outstanding achievements of their members.
