Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director determined the petitioner had not established the sustained national or international acclaim necessary to qualify as an alien of extraordinary ability. The evidence for awards was deemed insufficient as it related to childhood participation rather than professional excellence. The published material did not specifically name or feature the petitioner, and the evidence of judging lacked sufficient detail to prove he evaluated peers at a national or international level.
