Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility as an alien of extraordinary ability. The petitioner did not provide evidence of a one-time major achievement or meet at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. For the 'prizes or awards' criterion specifically, the evidence only showed selection for an exhibition, which does not constitute receipt of an award, and the petitioner did not establish the national or international recognition of the event.
