Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate extraordinary ability through sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO concurred with the director that the petitioner did not provide evidence of a one-time major achievement or meet at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. Specifically, the petitioner's awards from youth wrestling competitions were not proven to be nationally or internationally recognized for excellence in the entire field.
