dismissed EB-1A Case: Visual Arts
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO determined the evidence was insufficient, finding that the petitioner's academic diplomas did not qualify as nationally recognized awards, memberships in artistic unions lacked proof of selective criteria based on outstanding achievement, and media coverage was minimal and not from major publications.
