Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the requisite extraordinary ability and did not submit extensive documentation of sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO reviewed the case on a motion to reopen/reconsider and affirmed its prior decision, finding that the petitioner had not demonstrated they were among the small percentage of individuals who have risen to the very top of their field.
