Decision Summary
The motion to reopen was granted, but the previous decision to deny the petition was affirmed. The AAO found that the petitioner had not established the requisite extraordinary ability through extensive documentation and sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted for the 'prizes and awards' criterion, such as certificates from the 1980s, was insufficient to demonstrate the petitioner had risen to the very top of the field.
