dismissed EB-1A Case: Watch Design
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim by meeting at least three of the required regulatory criteria. The evidence submitted for awards, exhibitions, and high sales prices was deemed insufficient and lacked supporting documentation to prove the significance or even the occurrence of the claimed achievements. The petitioner failed to demonstrate that he had risen to the very top of the field of watch design.
