Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director determined the petitioner had not established the requisite extraordinary ability or sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found the petitioner failed to submit qualifying evidence under at least three of the required regulatory criteria. Additionally, the AAO noted that the petitioner's past acclaim was as a competitive dancer, while her intended work is as a dance trainer, which are considered different areas of expertise.
