Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for an alien of extraordinary ability. The director and the AAO found the petitioner did not meet the requisite number of regulatory criteria. Specifically, the AAO determined that published materials citing the petitioner's work did not qualify as being 'about the alien' and thus did not satisfy that criterion.
