Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary's sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner heavily relied on the beneficiary's "Level 3 Certificate" in guided wave testing as comparable evidence, arguing its rarity. However, the AAO determined this was insufficient and that the petitioner's counsel failed to adequately link the submitted evidence to the specific regulatory criteria for extraordinary ability.
