Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the requisite extraordinary ability through extensive documentation of sustained acclaim. The director found, and the AAO upheld, that the evidence submitted did not meet the plain language of the regulatory criteria. For instance, an academic degree and awards from individual churches were not considered nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence in the field.
