Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director determined the petitioner had not established the sustained national or international acclaim required for an alien of extraordinary ability. The AAO upheld this decision, concluding the petitioner failed to submit qualifying evidence under at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The decision also clarified that a prior O-1 visa approval is not binding on an EB-1A immigrant petition, as the standards differ and immigrant petitions receive greater scrutiny.
