Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish his specific field of extraordinary ability, having a background in both physics and international affairs, and did not submit clear evidence of his intent to continue work in a specific field in the U.S. The petitioner also failed to meet the evidentiary criteria, as his rank of ambassador was not considered a major international award, and his evidence for lesser awards and qualifying memberships was deemed insufficient.
