Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the required criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The AAO found that the beneficiary's teaching awards and student scholarships did not constitute major, nationally or internationally recognized prizes for excellence in the field. Additionally, the evidence for membership in professional associations was insufficient to demonstrate that these organizations required outstanding achievements from their members.
