Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish extraordinary ability. Many foreign language documents were submitted without the required certified English translations, rendering them not probative. For the 'prizes or awards' criterion, the evidence of a Latin Grammy nomination pertained to another artist, not the petitioner, and a nomination is not equivalent to receiving an award.
