Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three of ten evidentiary criteria for the extraordinary ability classification. Although the AAO found the petitioner did meet the 'lesser awards' criterion, contrary to the Director's initial finding, it concurred that the 'published materials' criterion was not met because the evidence did not establish the publications were major media. The petitioner ultimately did not demonstrate through extensive documentation that his achievements rose to the level of sustained national or international acclaim.
