Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria for an individual of extraordinary ability. The AAO found that the petitioner only satisfied one criterion (artistic display), concluding that the submitted articles were not primarily about the petitioner and that his role was not proven to be leading or critical for the entire organization.
