dismissed EB-1A Case: Wig Design
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that she met at least three of the required criteria. The evidence provided for membership in an association, authorship of an article, and display of work at exhibitions was deemed insufficient as it lacked proof of the organizations' high standards, the article's actual publication and significance, or the prestige of the showcases. Consequently, the AAO concluded the petitioner had not established sustained national or international acclaim.
