USCIS EB-1A rfe dismissed
2025-04-10
The Petitioner failed to meet at least three EB-1A criteria, satisfying only the artistic display criterion. Claims for awards, published material, original contributions, leading roles, high salary, and commercial success were rejected due to lack of evidence of national/international recognition, missing authorship/circulation data, and failure to show major significance in the field.

USCIS EB-1A rfe dismissed
2024-11-22
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to meet at least three of the ten evidentiary criteria, satisfying only the 'judging' criterion. Specifically, the awards claimed were not sufficiently proven to be nationally or internationally recognized, and the memberships did not require outstanding achievements as a condition. The published materials were not demonstrated to be from professional, major trade, or major media publications due to a lack of objective evidence like comparative circulation data. Furthermore, the Petitioner did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim, having no documented participation in competitions since 2015, despite some early career medals and media mentions.

USCIS EB-1A remanded
2024-11-04
The Director's decision was withdrawn because the AAO found the Petitioner met two additional evidentiary criteria beyond the one initially recognized. For 'published material,' the AAO determined that court decisions posted on a judicial website, which mentioned the Petitioner and discussed his arguments in tax-related cases, qualified as professional publications. For 'original contributions of major significance,' the AAO found that the Petitioner's work as a tax lawyer led to repeals and changes in tax regulations with national scope in Argentina, providing guidance to judges and attorneys, thus demonstrating major significance beyond his province.
