Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility by meeting the required three out of ten criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The AAO found the petitioner only met one criterion (playing a critical role). The evidence for membership in an association was insufficient, as standard union membership does not equate to an outstanding achievement, and the submitted articles were not considered published material about the alien in major media.
