Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence of either a major, internationally recognized award or of meeting at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO determined the petitioner had not demonstrated the sustained national or international acclaim required to be considered among the small percentage at the very top of the field. The decision also noted a lack of focus, as the petitioner claimed expertise in multiple distinct fields (arts and business) without proving extraordinary ability in a single one.
