Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary's extraordinary ability as a tabla musician. The petitioner attempted to use 'comparable evidence' but did not adequately explain why the standard regulatory criteria were not applicable to the beneficiary's field. The AAO found that counsel's unsupported assertions were not sufficient to meet the evidentiary burden.
