dismissed O-1A Case: Business
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. While the Director had credited the beneficiary with meeting two criteria (critical employment and high salary), the AAO found the evidence for additional criteria, such as membership in the Forbes Business Council, was insufficient to prove it required outstanding achievements as judged by experts.
