Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the director initially found the beneficiary met three regulatory criteria, the AAO determined that the overall evidence did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner failed to prove that the beneficiary's awards or memberships were indicative of rising to the very top of the field, and the totality of the evidence did not support a finding of extraordinary ability.
