Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the requisite extraordinary ability. The petitioner's counsel argued that a prior EB-2 NIW approval should be sufficient, but the AAO rejected this, emphasizing that the EB-1A classification has separate and more stringent requirements. Additionally, the petitioner abandoned challenges to the director's negative findings on several criteria on appeal.
