dismissed O-1B Case: Entertainment
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria for O-1B classification. The AAO withdrew the Director's favorable finding on the 'lead or starring participant' criterion, citing a lack of evidence for prospective roles. Additionally, the AAO determined that the submitted articles about the beneficiary did not rise to the level of national or international recognition required by the regulations.
