Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the evidentiary requirements for an alien of extraordinary ability. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence of a major, internationally recognized award, nor did they meet at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO specifically noted that the petitioner failed to provide primary evidence for his claimed athletic awards, relying instead on secondary evidence like his CV and reference letters, which is insufficient.
