USCIS EB-1A rfe dismissed
2025-02-24
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to demonstrate a one-time internationally recognized award or meet three of the ten regulatory criteria. While two criteria were met (judging and artistic exhibitions), the published material criterion was not satisfied due to insufficient evidence of major media status and illegible comparative data for 'Il Fatto Quotidiano'. The leading/critical role criterion was also not met due to a lack of corroborating evidence for the distinguished reputation of the projects.

USCIS EB-1A rfe dismissed
California 2024-05-17
The evidence failed the final merits determination because the media coverage focused on the Petitioner's status as a 'young artist' rather than the significance of her work, and the awards received at film festivals lacked documentation of national or international prestige. Additionally, the Petitioner failed to prove that her judging roles were the result of national or international renown.
