Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the initial evidence requirements for an alien of extraordinary ability. The Director originally found the evidence did not satisfy a one-time major award or at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO concurred, determining the evidence submitted, such as the beneficiary's role at industry trade shows, was not sufficient to meet criteria like judging the work of others.
