Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the evidentiary criteria for an individual of extraordinary ability. The petitioner argued that awards won by horses he trained should count as 'comparable evidence' for the prizes/awards criterion, but the AAO determined this was insufficient because the petitioner did not personally receive any awards and a team's or horse's success could not be primarily attributed to his efforts alone.
