Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the required three evidentiary criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The AAO agreed with the Director's findings, concluding that the evidence for awards was not nationally or internationally recognized and that the petitioner did not justify the use of comparable evidence for the membership criterion. Ultimately, the record did not prove the beneficiary had risen to the very top of their field.
