dismissed EB-1A Case: Video Editing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for an alien of extraordinary ability. The director initially denied the petition on these grounds, and the AAO's analysis of the evidence submitted for the 'awards' criterion suggests the petitioner's Telly Awards were not sufficient to demonstrate he has risen to the very top of his field.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
