Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate extraordinary ability by meeting at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO concurred with the Director's finding that the petitioner only met one criterion (display of work) and found the additional evidence submitted on appeal for other criteria, such as awards and memberships, was insufficient to establish national or international recognition.
