Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary had sustained the necessary national or international acclaim. The AAO determined that the evidence for the 'awards' criterion was insufficient, as the awards cited (FiFi, CEW, and CPC Packaging awards) were presented to companies, not directly to the beneficiary. The petition did not prove the beneficiary met at least three of the required regulatory criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability.
