Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for an alien of extraordinary ability. The director determined the petitioner did not meet the high standard for this classification, and the AAO upheld this finding, concluding that the petitioner had not submitted qualifying evidence under at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO also noted deficiencies in the submitted evidence, such as improper certifications for translated documents.
