Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate extraordinary ability through either a one-time major achievement or by meeting at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO also noted that a prior O-1 nonimmigrant visa approval does not guarantee eligibility for the immigrant classification due to different and higher standards. Furthermore, submitted translations of foreign documents were not properly certified, which diminished their probative value.
