USCIS 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.
