Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director determined the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for an alien of extraordinary ability. The AAO found that the petitioner did not submit qualifying evidence under at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The decision also clarified that a prior O-1 nonimmigrant visa approval does not compel the approval of an immigrant petition, which has a higher standard.
