Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a construction company, failed to establish that the beneficiary, a mason, qualified as an alien of extraordinary ability. The petitioner's request on appeal to change the petition's classification from EB-1A to EB-3 was impermissible, as a petitioner may not make material changes to a petition after adjudication.
