sustained EB-1A Case: Fashion Modeling And Acting
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO considered the petitioner's work as both a fashion model and an actress. The director had incorrectly separated the two fields. The AAO found the petitioner met three criteria: published materials about her work, commanding a significantly high salary as a model (28 times higher than the level two wage), and evidence of commercial success in the performing arts based on a film role that grossed $115 million internationally.
Criteria Discussed
Published Materials About The Alien In Professional Or Major Trade Publications Or Other Major Media Evidence That The Alien Has Commanded A High Salary Or Other Significantly High Remuneration For Services Evidence Of Commercial Successes In The Performing Arts
