Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the requisite extraordinary ability through extensive documentation of sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found that the evidence submitted did not meet the plain language requirements for at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. For example, the evidence for lesser prizes or awards did not identify any specific nationally or internationally recognized prize or award received by the petitioner.
