dismissed O-1B Case: Music
Decision Summary

The AAO found that while the beneficiary performed in a lead role, there was no evidence that the productions or events had a distinguished reputation. Additionally, the submitted published materials were determined to be brief mentions rather than significant critical reviews establishing national or international recognition.
