Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary met the high standard for extraordinary ability. The beneficiary's 'Teacher of the Year Award' was not found to qualify as a major, internationally recognized award. Furthermore, the petitioner only met two of the ten alternative criteria (judging and high salary) and failed to establish the required third criterion on appeal.
