sustained EB-1A Case: Fashion Model And Actress
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the petitioner met three of the required criteria for extraordinary ability. The AAO determined that there were published materials about her in major media, that her hourly wage as a model was significantly high compared to others in the field, and that her critical role in an internationally successful film constituted commercial success. The AAO considered her work as both a model and an actress in reaching its decision.
