Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary has sustained national or international acclaim. While the director found two criteria were met, the AAO determined the beneficiary only met one: performing a leading or critical role. The AAO concluded the petitioner had not demonstrated original contributions of major significance, noting that the primary project claimed had not yet been built and that testimonial letters were poorly supported or contradicted by other evidence.
