Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish the requisite extraordinary ability through extensive documentation of sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO's analysis determined that the evidence submitted for the 'prizes or awards' criterion, consisting of academic scholarships to attend a course, did not qualify because they were for training rather than for excellence in the petitioner's actual field of endeavor.
