Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria for extraordinary ability. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's submitted awards were not qualifying, as most were from age-limited junior or student competitions, and others lacked sufficient evidence of their national or international significance. The petitioner did not successfully establish eligibility under other claimed criteria either.
