Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary meets the high standard for extraordinary ability. The evidence provided for membership in an association did not prove that the association requires outstanding achievements for admission. Additionally, the evidence for judging the work of others was from the late 1970s and early 1980s, which was not sufficient to establish sustained acclaim.
