dismissed O-1A Case: Writing And Academia
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to contest three of the four grounds for the initial denial. The petitioner only argued that the beneficiary met the evidentiary criteria but did not address the deficiencies regarding the contract, the itinerary of events, and the advisory opinion. The AAO deemed these uncontested issues as waived and dismissed the appeal without addressing the petitioner's arguments on the merits of the evidence.
