Performing Arts · Colombia

USCIS EB-1A rfe dismissed
2025-02-13
The motion to reopen was dismissed because the new evidence did not establish eligibility under at least three of the ten EB-1A criteria. Specifically, the Petitioner failed to prove membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements due to inconsistent documentation and lack of bylaws, published material in major media due to insufficient evidence of circulation or audience, and original contributions of major significance due to vague recommendation letters lacking specific details on the impact of contributions. The motion to reconsider was dismissed as the Petitioner did not demonstrate an incorrect application of law or policy in the prior decision, nor did she identify specific errors or explain how the prior decision did not follow regulations and policy guidance.

USCIS EB-1A rfe dismissed
Texas 2024-07-18
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner only satisfied one criterion (published materials) instead of the required three. Specifically, the awards submitted (e.g., Entrepreneurial Spirit 2012, H-E-B Quest for Texas Best) lacked evidence of national or international significance, and roles with the Association of Caribbean States and United Nations were not proven to be leading or critical.

Performing Arts · Colombia

USCIS EB-1A rfe dismissed
2024-07-10
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner only satisfied two of the ten EB-1A criteria (judging and artistic exhibitions). Evidence for awards was deemed insufficient as they were team-based rather than individual, and published materials lacked circulation data or were not primarily about the Petitioner's work.

Fashion · Colombia

USCIS EB-1A rfe dismissed
Florida 2023-04-13
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner only met two of the ten criteria (published material and judging), failing to meet the minimum of three. Specifically, her participation in fashion markets was not considered 'artistic exhibitions,' and she did not qualify under 'commercial success in performing arts' as she is not a performing artist. Additionally, media coverage was limited to the year prior to filing, failing to show sustained acclaim.
