USCIS EB-1A remanded
2025-03-18
The Director's decision was withdrawn because it improperly evaluated whether the evidence established 'sustained national or international acclaim' within the individual criteria analysis. Under the Kazarian framework, this evaluation belongs in the final merits determination, not the initial counting of criteria. The matter is remanded for a proper de novo review of the four claimed criteria: awards, published material, judging, and high salary.
