USCIS rfe dismissed

2024-09-06

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to meet the initial evidence requirements of either a one-time major internationally recognized award or at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. Specifically, the Petitioner did not contest the denial of the 'prizes or awards' criterion. The 'high salary' criterion was denied because new claims and evidence regarding outside investment and equity holdings were not presented to the Director. The 'membership' criterion was not met as the Bulgarian Investment and Construction Association (BISA) did not require outstanding achievements as a condition for membership. The 'original contributions' criterion was not satisfied because the Petitioner's work, while successful in his home country, was not shown to have made an original, major significant contribution to the field as a whole, lacking evidence of widespread application or emulation.

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner only satisfied one of the ten criteria (judging). The awards were received by her employer (BAPRA Bright Awards), memberships did not require 'outstanding achievements' (BPRA, Music Biz, PRCA), and published materials lacked required author information or were not specifically about the Petitioner.
