Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met at least three of the required regulatory criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The AAO found the petitioner's argument that most criteria were inapplicable to the beneficiary's profession as a jockey unpersuasive and concluded that the submission of 'comparable evidence' was not permissible as the standard criteria could apply.
