dismissed EB-1A Case: Vegetable Carving
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence for awards was found to be insufficient, with the AAO noting they were institutional, youth-level, or not proven to be nationally significant. Furthermore, the awards were from several years prior to filing and did not demonstrate that the petitioner had sustained acclaim, especially during the six years they had resided in the U.S.
Criteria Discussed
