dismissed O-1A Case: Judo
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary has the necessary sustained national or international acclaim as a judo athlete. Although evidence was submitted pertaining to several criteria, it was insufficient to establish that the beneficiary is one of the small percentage who has risen to the very top of his field.
