Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the initial evidentiary requirements. The director and the AAO determined that the petitioner did not demonstrate a one-time major achievement nor did he provide sufficient qualifying evidence to meet at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. Consequently, the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the extraordinary ability classification.
