Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the requisite extraordinary ability or demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner's argument that the director committed a procedural error by not requesting additional evidence for all criteria was rejected, as the director acted within their discretion. The AAO conducted a de novo review and affirmed the denial.
