Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to submit qualifying evidence under at least three of the ten regulatory criteria required for the classification. The AAO determined that the evidence submitted, such as an award for the petitioner's film, did not establish that it was a nationally or internationally recognized prize for excellence in the field of filmmaking, as required by the regulations. Therefore, the petitioner did not demonstrate the sustained national or international acclaim necessary for an alien of extraordinary ability.
