Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a foreign language instructor, failed to demonstrate extraordinary ability. The AAO found that the petitioner did not meet the regulatory criteria, rejecting the argument that his students' successes or a previously approved I-140 petition constituted comparable evidence for nationally recognized awards.
