USCIS EB-1A dismissed
2025-01-30
The motion to reopen was dismissed due to a lack of new facts or documentary evidence. The motion to reconsider was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to demonstrate that the prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy. Specifically, the AAO found its reliance on Krasniqi v. Dibbins for merit-based awards was correct, the petitioner's awards were for participation, not excellence. The petitioner also failed to show error in the analysis of the leading or critical role criterion, or the high salary criterion, as no comparative evidence was provided to show the salary was high in relation to others in the field.

The AAO withdrew the Director's decision and remanded the case because the Director incorrectly concluded that the Petitioner did not articulate what evidence was being submitted for consideration under at least three of the 10 initial evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that the Petitioner's RFE response brief clearly articulated evidence for the first, fifth, and ninth criteria, thus necessitating a new decision by the Director.
