USCIS rfe dismissed

Pennsylvania 2025-02-03

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to provide sufficient objective evidence to meet at least three of the ten EB-1A criteria. Specifically, the Petitioner did not adequately demonstrate membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements, participation as a judge of others' work, original contributions of major significance, authorship of scholarly articles, or high remuneration. While two criteria (published material and leading role) were initially met, the evidence was not sustained, and the record did not show the Petitioner was among the small percentage at the very top of her field, especially lacking sustained prominence in later years.

2024-10-21

The decision found that despite being an acclaimed and recognized painter, the Petitioner failed to demonstrate his place among the small percentage at the field's very top. Evidence such as a historian's letter endorsing his influence on Georgian painting did not prove his standing at the top of the field as a whole. The Director's mischaracterization of the display of the Petitioner's work as 'sporadic' was deemed harmless error, as the displays did not distinguish him as being at the very top. The record lacked sufficient information about other artists in the Petitioner's field and his relative place among them.

Director

Entertainment · Georgia

USCIS remanded

2024-09-04

The AAO withdrew the Director's decision because it found the Petitioner met three of the ten EB-1A criteria, contrary to the Director's conclusion. Specifically, the Petitioner met the membership criterion by being an honorary member of the Georgian Film Academy, whose bylaws require 'historical significance for Georgia' and 'extraordinary success' for honorary members. The Petitioner also met the exhibitions criterion through directing numerous musicals and the leading role criterion by directing at distinguished Georgian theatres and a leading television station. The case was remanded for a final merits determination under the Kazarian framework.

Sports · Georgia

USCIS rfe dismissed

2024-07-10

The Petitioner failed to meet any of the three claimed criteria: awards, memberships, and published material. Specifically, the awards lacked documentation of significance, membership requirements were not proven to be based on outstanding achievements judged by experts, and published materials lacked proper translations and evidence of being major media.

Musician

Music · Georgia

USCIS dismissed

2022-08-19

The Petitioner failed the final merits determination as his media coverage was found to be limited and focused on others, and his award ('Best Drummer' 2018) lacked sufficient documentation of national significance. Additionally, his judging experience was limited to a single student competition, and his earnings were not shown to be high relative to others in the field.
