Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for classification as an alien of extraordinary ability. The AAO affirmed that merely submitting evidence for three of the ten regulatory criteria is insufficient. Under the two-part analysis established in Kazarian v. USCIS, the evidence in its totality must be considered in a final merits determination, and the petitioner's evidence did not demonstrate that they had risen to the very top of their field.
