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 and the AAO found that the petitioner did not submit qualifying evidence under at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. Specifically, the evidence for lesser awards and memberships in associations did not meet the plain language requirements of the regulations.
