Decision snapshot
Decision ID | MAR062008_03B2203 |
|---|---|
Decision date as printed | March 6, 2008 (cover date) |
Classification / field stated in source | EB-1A extraordinary ability in the arts; decision body concerns Peking Opera. |
Procedural posture | The available beginning states the director denied for lack of sustained acclaim and lack of intent to continue work in the field. AAO’s opening states the appeal will be dismissed with a fraud/material-misrepresentation finding and describes a January 8, 2008 notice concerning alleged falsified evidence: an award certificate the Qi Shu Fang Peking Opera Company said it never issued, and an inconsistent age on a purported Sichuan Peking Opera Company membership card. Physical pages 3–7 are blank, so response, full analysis and operative order are unavailable. |
Operative disposition | Unverifiable in supplied source; hold. |
Final-merits status | not reached |
What the AAO decision addressed
The available pages report an alleged fraudulent award certificate and membership-card age discrepancy; complete findings and final order cannot be confirmed because five trailing physical pages are blank (p. 2; pp. 3–7 blank).
Criterion-by-criterion status in this source
