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, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner had not demonstrated receipt of a major award or met at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. Specifically, an award won by the beneficiary's company was not deemed a personal award for the beneficiary, and the petitioner failed to prove it was a nationally or internationally recognized prize for excellence in the field.
