Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary met the high standard for extraordinary ability. The petitioner did not submit evidence of a qualifying one-time achievement (a major, internationally recognized award) or sufficient evidence to meet at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. A prior O-1 visa approval was deemed not binding for the more stringent EB-1A immigrant petition.
Criteria Discussed
One-Time Achievement (Major, Internationally Recognized Award) Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards For Excellence Original Contributions Of Major Significance
