dismissed O-1B Case: Music
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary met the required criteria. The evidence did not establish that the beneficiary had a lead or starring role in events or for organizations with a distinguished reputation. Furthermore, letters from experts were deemed to be simple evaluations for the petition rather than proof of significant, pre-existing recognition for the beneficiary's achievements.
Criteria Discussed
Lead Or Starring Participant In Productions Or Events With A Distinguished Reputation Lead, Starring, Or Critical Role For Organizations With A Distinguished Reputation Significant Recognition For Achievements From Experts Or Organizations
