Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate extraordinary ability through either a major, internationally-recognized award or by meeting at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO emphasized that a prior O-1 nonimmigrant visa approval does not meet the higher standard required for the EB-1A immigrant classification, which is reserved for those who have risen to the very top of their field.
Criteria Discussed
