dismissed O-1B Case: Hair Design
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met the requisite three evidentiary criteria for O-1B classification. Although the Director initially found two criteria were met, the AAO's de novo review concluded that the evidence only satisfied one criterion (significant recognition for achievements). The petitioner did not successfully argue that other criteria were met or that the submitted comparable evidence was sufficient.
