dismissed EB-1A Case: Visual Arts
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The submitted evidence for the 'prizes or awards' criterion, a fellowship, was not proven to be a nationally or internationally recognized prize. The articles submitted under the 'published material' criterion were found to be from non-major media or only contained brief mentions of the petitioner, which was insufficient to meet the standard.
