Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria for an individual of extraordinary ability. The Director found the petitioner only met two criteria (judging and exhibitions). The AAO agreed, finding the evidence for the 'leading or critical role' criterion insufficient because the petitioner did not establish the distinguished reputation of the organizations or his specific impact within them.
