Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the requisite extraordinary ability. The director and the AAO determined that the petitioner did not submit qualifying evidence under at least three of the ten regulatory criteria, and thus failed to provide extensive documentation of sustained national or international acclaim in the field of athletics.
