Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the required sustained national or international acclaim for an alien of extraordinary ability. The submitted evidence, primarily advertisements featuring the petitioner as a model, did not meet the criteria for 'published materials about the alien' as they were not about him. The AAO also determined this evidence could not be used to meet the 'artistic exhibitions' criterion, finding it duplicative and inapplicable to a model's work.
