Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence to meet at least three of the required regulatory criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. For the 'memberships' criterion, the petitioner submitted inadmissible evidence for the first time on appeal and failed to demonstrate that the organizations required outstanding achievements for membership. The AAO concluded the petitioner had not established sustained national or international acclaim through extensive documentation.
