dismissed O-1B Case: Art Dealing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary would be employed for a specific 'event' or series of events as required by regulations. The AAO agreed with the director that the proposed employment constituted the regular, ongoing duties of an International Art Dealer, rather than a distinct project or engagement with specific beginning and ending dates.
