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 evidence did not meet the high standard for this classification. Specifically, the evidence submitted under the 'published material' criterion was found insufficient as the articles from 'Catalog Age' and 'Multichannel Merchant' only mentioned the petitioner in passing and were not primarily about him or his work.
