dismissed EB-1A Case: Volleyball
Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition because although the petitioner met three evidentiary criteria, the record did not establish that he had sustained national or international acclaim. On appeal, the AAO reviewed the evidence, disagreed with the Director's conclusions on some of the criteria, but ultimately dismissed the appeal, concurring that the petitioner failed to demonstrate he is among the small percentage at the very top of his field.
