dismissed O-1A Case: Horse Training
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary has sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found that the evidence submitted, primarily letters from selected individuals, did not constitute extensive documentation of a distinguished reputation for the petitioning farm. Furthermore, the comparable evidence regarding the success of horses trained by the beneficiary was not sufficiently documented to demonstrate recognition at a national or international level.
