Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility under the requisite three criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The petitioner only contested the director's negative finding on the 'original contributions' criterion, thereby abandoning other denied criteria. The AAO also withdrew the director's initial favorable finding on the 'awards' criterion, leaving the petitioner with insufficient evidence to establish sustained national or international acclaim.
