Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for an alien of extraordinary ability. The director correctly determined that the petitioner did not meet the evidentiary threshold of qualifying under at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. Specifically, the AAO found that admission to and graduation from a selective school does not qualify as membership in an association that requires outstanding achievement.
