Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the requisite extraordinary ability. The director determined that the petitioner had not provided extensive documentation to prove sustained national or international acclaim, a decision the AAO upheld on appeal. The petitioner did not meet the high evidentiary standard required to be considered among the small percentage who have risen to the very top of their field.
