The Petitioner did not meet the artistic exhibition criterion as news agency websites and educational journalism awards are not artistic in nature. The leading or critical role criterion was not met because his duties as a video coordinator were considered standard production tasks rather than leadership, and his current employer lacked a distinguished reputation. No major award or three lesser criteria were satisfied to progress to a final merits determination.

USCIS rfe dismissed

2025-01-28

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet at least three of the ten EB-1A criteria. The 'Prizes or Awards' criterion was not met as the beneficiary did not personally receive awards, only worked on award-winning projects. The 'Published Material' criterion was not met because the publications were not shown to be major trade/professional publications and did not substantially discuss the beneficiary's work. The 'Original Contributions' criterion was not met as the major significance of the contributions to the broader field (beyond the employer) was not established. Only 'Leading or Critical Role' and 'High Remuneration' were found to be met, falling short of the required three criteria.
