Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director determined the petitioner had not established the requisite extraordinary ability or sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner's counsel failed to adequately categorize the submitted evidence into the specific regulatory criteria, both in the initial filing and in response to a request for evidence. On appeal, counsel again failed to specify which criteria the petitioner met or how the evidence supported those claims, thus not meeting the burden of proof.
