Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that he met the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria for extraordinary ability. Specifically, the evidence for claimed awards was insufficient to prove he was the recipient or to establish the national or international significance of the prizes. A sales-based award was not considered a prize for excellence in the field.
