Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner filed for the EB-1A extraordinary ability classification but submitted no evidence to meet any of the required criteria. The petitioner's argument on appeal, that they had mistakenly checked the box for the wrong visa type and intended to file under a different classification requiring a labor certification, was rejected as USCIS is not required to consider alternate classifications for a petition.
